Backpockets

We need to talk about something. I already regret starting to write this blog, but I know that this is the feeling that every pioneer has. You have to go against the flow, because what you stand for is more important than your personal pride. Here we go…!

Backpockets. Yes, that is right. I love them. But I think this story starts elsewhere. I love to drink. I love to keep myself hydrated. I think it is a habit I have built up in my sport days, and one that I keep carrying on. It prevents headaches, and especially if the weather is hot, it becomes essential. However, there is one downside. You always have to have a bottle with you.

And that is where backpockets come to save you. On (almost) all pants made for males there are backpockets. And they are big, trust me, bigger than you think. Yet, most people do not use them! I ask myself why, and one major downside I can immediately think of is that you can sit on the contents of your backpockets really easily, destroying what you put in them. However, with a bit of cautiousness you can avoid this, and you can just reap the benefits. You suddenly have your hands free, and your bottle always with you.

I get often laughed at, but this is how I go around my days. For illustration, here I include a picture of how I fill my backpockets. My bottle, and a kindle for reading.

So go, go out to the real world and use your backpockets. Or actually, use anything that is underutilized, and do not feel limited by what the mainstream accepts.

If you already are a user of your backpockets, then let me know how you use them, I would love to get inspired!

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
