Secret Stash: Accessories and Clothes with Hidden Pockets

Explore a new running route hands-free when you wear FlipBelt’s Athletic Running shorts, which allow you to carry everything you need at your waist. The shorts feature a built-in waist belt that’s roomy enough to hold a phone, hydration bottle, and more. The unique design mimimizes bouncing, making the shorts comfortable to wear even on long runs. 

A rear zipper pocket and internal key ring secures small valuables so you don’t have to worry about anything falling out.

Cargo pants are great for carrying lots of stuff, but terrible at helping you blend in when traveling. Instead, pack Bluffworks’ Travel Pants, which look like regular chinos but feature nine hidden pockets (including two phone pockets and five zippered pockets.)

The pants are surprisingly lightweight, and although they look dry-clean only, they’re actually machine washable.
