I know for most of you we have never met. Heck, you do not even know what I look like by my own choice. Steve, from More Kids Than Suitcases, even thinks there is a good chance we are exiled members of the Norwegian Royal Family.

While I have given hints about my celebrity status, I have never published any tell-tale photos of myself, besides a back-of-the-head shot from my honeymoon. However, today that is all about to change, as I show everyone the most revealing photo of me ever online.

Several weeks ago I was contacted by the Clever Travel Companion, highlighting their line of clothing catered towards the traveler who wants to minimize the chance of pickpocketing. They graciously sent me a pair to try out. So I did what any man would do, I dawned my new underwear and had my wife try and get in my pockets. Hey, I have to test it out. Don’t judge!

The undergarments come with pockets sewn into them to store your most secure of valuables. The male underwear I received came with two pockets on the front, each measuring 4″ wide by 5″ deep.

I wore the Clever Travel Companion underwear beneath a pair of jeans. After fully getting dressed to head off to the Cleveland Car Show with my family, I realized my wallet would not fit within the pockets of the underwear. Problem.

Admittedly, I carry a pretty fat wallet. An abundance of credit cards to meet any category bonus of the day, reward cards to various stores, a little cash, some business cards. A tri-fold wallet with one to many cards has a difficult time jamming into the pockets, not to mention who would want their pocket bulge to be the main thing noticed.

Here is the thing about the Clever Travel Companion that I have a tough time solving. I think the product meets an interesting niche and helps solve a problem with preventing your most precious of travel documents from being stolen. However, I have a hard time convincing myself that when I am standing in line at Disney to buy a perfectly chilled Coke, and then I have to reach down my pants, fidget around with a zipper, and then pull out my cash. I think it is just impractical to have to go inside my outer clothes to get access to my stored belongings.

Where I could see the Clever Travel Companion being useful is if what you store in them is not accessed routinely.

Overall the underwear were comfortable and supportive. I normally wear a size large boxer brief; however, I went with the size x-large of the Clever Travel Companion, per the recommendation on their site to possibly go up a size. I was thankful I did, because now I am not sure the large would have fit properly.

Besides receiving a sample pair of male underwear to try out, I have no financial relationship with the Clever Travel Companion. All opinions are my own.
