These pockets are good for depths of up to 200 feet (so says Scuba Schools International) and are perfect for those who follow Taylor Swift's philosophy on life: jump then fall. Adventure Underwear is made out of [100 percent Australian superfine merino wool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proof-72hour-merino-air-tshirt) which dries quick and doesn't hold odor. There are two pockets: a small one which is quick access and a larger, removable pocket that can hold a smartphone and passport. The company is seeking funding for its underwear on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomade-58) and is a little over a third of the way to its goal of $30,000.
