Editor's Note: ​ This is your 27th stopped pick-pocket in Barcelona. Glenn was wearing a pair of our Adventure Traveler Pants in Spain when the pick-pocket marked him. This testimonial came to us via a Facebook comment.

Editor's Note: ​This is your first known stopped pick-pocket in Turkey. Enrique is a long time wearer of our apparel having first upgraded in 2019. He was wearing his Buisness Travel Pants when the pick-pocket attempt was made.

​Dear Clothing Arts,

I purchased a pair of your dress pants, which I have used for years when traveling. Last week, for the first time, I had an attempted pickpocket in Istanbul while riding the Metro. The thief could not lift the left front zipper & quickly stepped out at the coming stop. It was almost entertaining feeling him struggle as my wife watched him from a few steps away.
 
You have a great product, which is also very durable.

Editor's Note: ​This is your 5th & 6th known stopped pick-pockets in Milan. It is also the first time a single pick-pocket has attempted a group of travelers both wearing our apparel! Robbie F. from Pittsburgh, PA, and his friend were both wearing a pair of Adventure Traveler Pants.

Editor's Note: ​This is your 55th known stop in Paris! Paul was wearing a pair of our flagship Adventure Traveler Pants. This is your third stopped pick-pocket occuring in the lead up to the Paris Olympic games!

​Dear Clothing Arts,

I was in Paris from July 7 to 11 and had both my dress pants and cargo pants with me. I felt very secure using them, and they actually saved me from a pickpocket. I am obsessive about making sure everything is zippered and buttoned.

I was on the metro for just two stops. Two girls boarded the train, and one sat next to me. Their total time together was less than 3 minutes, but during that time, she managed to open the zipper. Thanks to the design of the cargo pants, the button strap prevented her from opening the zipper anymore.

I didn’t even notice until I got off the train and checked my pockets I found that it was partially unzipped.

Well worth the cost. Also, the dress pants, very very comfortable. My new go-to plane pants even for long haul.

​Dear Clothing Arts,

During a recent trip to Amsterdam, your amazing product saved the day!!

My wife and I were walking around Dam Square in the heart of the city during the evening hours. It was a very busy time of day, and many tourists and locals were enjoying a beautiful evening. Everything appeared normal, and it wasn’t until I returned to the ship when, to my surprise, the right pant zipper was pulled down!!  

Really good thing I was wearing my pick-pocket proof pants and had additional security for money and a credit card, or I would have lost everything and ruined my vacation.  

Many thanks!

Sincerely and a customer for life!!

Editor's Note: This is your 54th known stopped pick-pocket in Paris and second in 2 weeks ahead of the Olympic Games. Andrew was wearing a pair of our flagship Adventure Traveler Pants.

Dear Clothing Arts,

One month before the 2024 Olympics my wife and I decided to go to Paris for our 20th anniversary. I decided to buy the pick pocket proof long pants because I heard there were many pick pocket thieves in Paris. I didn’t want to lose my wallet or my passport.

We took the train into downtown and it was very crowded. Everyone's body was next to another. Toward the end of the ride, I caught someone trying to steal my wallet. Thankfully, the wallet was inside the my front pocket within a zippered layer. I swatted her hand away and she ran.

I'm thankful I bought the pick pocket pants! It's a must for the 2024 Paris Olympics!"

Editor's Note: This is your 53rd known stopped pick-pocket in Paris. John S. from Houston, Texas, is an OG wearer of our Pick-Pocket Proof Pants first upgrading in 2014. Over the years he has expanded his secure travel wardrobe to include Adventure Shorts & Pants, Business Travel Pants, and Explorer Chinos. This most recent stopped pick-pocket testimonial came in just last Sunday and jumped the queue of testimonials as it represents the first of what we expect to be quite a few stopped pick-pockets during the Paris Olympics. This was sent in via a ***** review of our Adventure Traveler Shorts. Here is how it happened:

Editor's Note: ​This is your first known stop in Denamrk. Theodore was wearing a pair of Adventure Traveler Pants.

​Dear Clothing Arts,

Your pants saved me from a pick-pocket near the entrance to Tivoli Garden in Copenhagen, Denmark!

- Theodore H. from Rapid City, South Dakota

Editor's Note: ​Over the years, you have reported on hundreds of pick-pockets stopped red-handed, with hands caught in the cookie jar as they attempt to lift your valuables. What is unknown is the total number of deterred attempts where a seasoned pick-pocket will notice that your pockets are more complex than your fellow travelers' unsecured ones. When we set out to design these innovative pockets, our Flagship Adventure Traveler Pants would feature a triple-secure "security" guard to let the best pick-pockets know they should, to quote Oliver Twist, "pick a pocket or two" somewhere else! The testimonial below will be counted as one stop in Greece, as odds are at least one of these individuals was looking to lift Gerard's wallet.

​Dear Clothing Arts,

Last month, I traveled to some of Europe's and the Middle East's pickpocket hot spots. I wore your pants in Lisbon, Barcelona, Rome, Cairo, Istanbul, and Athens. I felt secure from being pickpocketed.

A couple of times, I noticed someone approaching from the front, who looked at the flap with the logo and then walked away.

As I recall, I was in Athens at the Parthenon. It was very crowded. I was always on the lookout for individuals who were by themselves. Something similar happened in Santorini, Greece.

- Gerard C. from Pennsylvania

Editor's Note: This testimonial is your first known stopped pick-pocket in Germany. It also marks a new stop by our Women's Travel Pants!

​Dear Clothing Arts,

I don’t do all the social media stuff, but I wanted to let you know your travel pants are awesome. They kept my money and phone safe at the Octoberfest in Munich while a young girl was chatting me up in line for no reason. I’m 60 and female!

Thinking about the encounter, I’m sure I was her target because I wasn’t carrying a purse and had a couple of beers. No score for her. Our tour guides repeatedly warned us to be careful.

Thanks for the great product!

Heather F. from Redlands, California
