Sports Wristband With Layered Transparent Pockets

Abstract

A sports wristband with layered transparent pockets is provided. The device includes an elastic band capable of being worn around a wrist and a storage portion attached thereto. The storage portion includes a transparent pocketed flap. Identification / license cards placed in the transparent pocketed flap can be displayed while the device is worn on the wrist and the flap is closed. When the transparent pocketed flap is opened, a set of twin, transparent pockets are revealed. Such a device is useful for carrying an identification card / license along with small items such as change and keys. Tournament fishermen can use the device to carry and display their fishing license and store tackle. Such an arrangement saves time during competition to access the tackle. In addition to providing a convenient way to carry small items, the wristband is preferably constructed of a sweat-absorbent material allowing the device to dually function as a sweatband.

Problems solved by technology

Carrying small items while engaged in certain activities can be difficult.

However, putting items in one's shoes presents its own set of problems.

Although wearable devices for carrying small items exist, these devices tend to be limited in storage capacity, not easily accessible, cumbersome, and / or are structured to only hold items specific to a particular activity.

Furthermore, such devices do not allow the user to view the items stored therein because they are constructed of opaque materials, making it difficult to determine which items are stored in the device, particularly when there are several storage compartments.
