Waterproof Pocket Shorts by Stash Keep Gadgets Unharmed

— May 14, 2013 — Fashion
California-based brand Stash Inc. developed waterproof pocket shorts for those who lead adventurous lifestyles and want to keep safe high-maintenance gadgets.

The shorts are assembled with ‘Stash pockets:’ waterproof pockets with strong, plastic seal-able caps. These caps can be twisted open when needed to throw in or take out keys, phones, iPods, etc. The opening of the Stash pocket is just wide enough to fit an iPhone. This pocket is securely sewn into the interior of the shorts.

Stash pocket caps can come in different colors, with the color of the shorts matching accordingly. You can make a pledge for Stash’s waterproof pocket shorts at www.kickstarter.com.
