189 Stopped Pick-Pocket: A Frustrating Day To Be A Pick-Pocket In Florence!
Editor's Note: This is your 5th known stop in Florence.
Dear Clothing Arts,
Just wanted to send a note and thank you. We just got back from a great trip in Italy, where I was wearing my new Adventure Travel Pants. I was being double paranoid, using a money belt and a decoy wallet in the back pocket of my pants.
No issues that I know of in the airports, or over most of the trip, but that changed when we took the train from Florence to Rome. It wasn't long at the Florence train station before I noticed the back right button on my rear pocket was undone, and the zipper was partially open. They of course never got into the pocket itself, much less to my decoy wallet in the inside pocket.
Hopefully, I gave the attempted pickpocket a frustrating day!
Regardless, the pants helped take a lot of stress and worry out of our travels, as I was able to feel confident that nothing would be stolen.
Thanks,

187 Stopped Pick-Pocket: Another Wallet Saved During Our Week In Florence!
Editor's Note: This is your 5th known stop in Florence.
Dear Clothing Arts,
Last October, my wife and I spent a week visiting Florence, Italy. Every day we walked across the main square, the Piazza del Duomo to get somewhere. As usual, one afternoon, the square was filled with people but I was unaware of physical contact with anyone. As we left the square, I noticed that one front pocket button of my PPP Adventure pants was no longer closed.

155 Stopped Pick-Pocket: Waiting In Front Of A Restaurant In Florence!
Editor's Note: This is your 3rd known stopped pick-pocket in Florence!
Dear Clothing Arts,
I'm a believer. I bought two of the cargo shorts to use on our Italian vacation and they did the trick yesterday. I was in Florence, waiting in front of a restaurant, when someone tried to pick my pockets.
There was a mobile vendor behind me and the pickpocket was pretending to shop it while bumping against me and groping my pockets. I was fully aware of what he was doing and, on his second attempt, smiled at him and waved him off. Busted, he scrambled away.
These things are great. They take some getting used to but, with some practice, you can get to what you need to without too much delay.
Thanks!

85 Stopped Pick-Pocket: The Michelangelo's David of Stopped Pick-Pockets in Florence!
Dear Clothing Arts,
I was in the Galleria dell'Accademia (the museum where Michelangelo’s David statue is) in Florence last December and it was mobbed. Some of the galleries were really crushed in. When I left the museum I discovered that the zipper on my right hand-pocket had been pulled up to the button over flap. Someone clearly tried to unzip the pocket but was stopped by the flap.
Thank you Clothing Arts!

59 Stopped Pick-Pocket: ATM Theft Prevented in Florence!
Editor's Note: It's a common trick for pick-pockets to stake out ATM's around the world, especially in tourist-prone areas. We suggest using enclosed ATM's when possible and storing your cash in your double and triple secure pockets.
Dear Clothing Arts,
This was in Florence Italy. I had gone to the ATM. I put the money in the hidden pocket and then zipped both pockets. A few hours later I discovered that my outer pocket was unzipped, I never felt a thing but my Euros were safely inside the inner hidden pocket. A HUGE sigh of relief waved over me!
Thank you!!!

22 & 23rd Stopped Pick-Pocket: European Travel Insurance!
Dear Clothing Arts,Great to see you again and I wanted to personally thank you for your wonderful products.
I had two incidents to report where your pick-pocket-proof pants were successful. While attempting to board a train in La Spezia, Italy we were accosted by a band of young 12-14 year old girls. They would group around you and attempt to pick-pocket my wallet and front pockets. To their surprise, they were unable to access both, demonstrating antagonistic chatter in Italian. Unfortunately, I observed the young group successfully pick-pocket a man's large billfold containing his family's passports, money, reservations, etc. According to the locals, this group quickly appears and disappears almost daily to victimize travelers, especially seniors, families with young children. I am pleased I am not one of those statistics.
My second incident was in Florence. While standing and eating at a stand up bar, a young man brushed by my backside attempting to push my wallet up out of the pocket. He was quickly surprised that it was not going to happen! I observed him frustrated that he was unable to access my rear pocket and he ran away.
Success once again.
I cannot comprehend travelling in Europe without your products.
