Now, Zip It Gear claims to have a better way to keep your cash, keys and credit cards safe while traveling abroad. Evan Papel, founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Zip It Gear, was the unfortunate victim of a Prague pickpocket PICKPOCKET. A thief; one who in a crowd or. in other places, steals from the pockets or person of another without putting him in fear. This is generally punished as simple larceny. while visiting Europe on a post-college trip. A second bout of bad luck came soon after while traveling from Prague to Munich when Papel's sock money simply fell out of his boots. ``Of course I was upset,'' Papel said, ``but after a beer and some deep thought, the sock with a zipper-secured pocket popped into my head.'' Thus, Zip It Gear was born. The company now offers a line of socks equipped with tiny zippered zip·pered adj. 1. Having or equipped with zippers or a zipper: a coat with zippered pockets. 2. Closed or fastened with or as if with a zipper. pockets. Beyond travel security, the company has recently introduced products for athletes who need a convenient place to stash stash Drug slang noun A place where illicit drugs are hidden a key, identification or cash while on a jog or bike ride. The original Travel Socks are calf-high and have a large pocket on one sock to store important items such as your passport and hotel key. They are made of nylon, spandex and a proprietary polyester-based fabric called Comfortrel XP. They wick and breathe better than average cotton tube socks and have extra padding Bits or characters that fill up unused portions of a data structure, such as a field, packet or frame. Typically, padding is done at the end of the structure to fill it up with data, with the padding usually consisting of 1 bits, blank characters or null characters. See null and bit stuffing. on the toe and heal for durability. Zip It Gear charges $27 per pair for the Travel Socks, but it is cheap insurance if your journeys often take you through questionable territory. The company's Sport Sox line, which come in men's and women's sizes, are ankle-high and have a smaller pocket on one sock made to hold house keys or other small items. The pocket has a locking zipper zipper Device for binding the edges of an opening, as on a garment or a bag. A zipper consists of two strips of material with metal or plastic teeth along the edges, and a sliding piece that interlocks the teeth when moved in one direction and separates them again when moved pull to keep it shut under heavy action. Like the Travel Socks, the Sport model wicks sweat and has reinforced toe and heal areas. The cost is $15 a pair. Testing it out on a series of jogs this fall with a key and credit card stuffed into the pocket, little fault was found with the Sport Sox line. A single key in the pocket is almost unnoticeable. The more items you add, the more cumbersome it feels, but for a typical jog with a house key and identification the Sport Sox does its job admirably.
