Kickstarter project: Shorts with a waterproof pocket
Posted By RichC on May 30, 2013
Although there might be a way to improve on the “hatch” in order to store a phone, wallet, car remote, etc … these Stash Waterproof Pocket Shorts are a great idea for beach-goers, water sport enthusiasts or … cough, cough … sailing. I’d like to think the new upstart company will raise the funding, but as someone pointed out, “why not just put your stuff in a waterproof case” (or as I usually do, a ziplock bag). We’ll see if the Kickstarter project is able to raise the $135,000 funding before the window draws to a close?

Growing up in Alaska instilled the importance of being prepared while outdoors, and the Stash Pocket is a direct reflection of that sensibility.
