A waterproof garment pocket is provided. The pocket consists of a front sheet and a rear sheet. Attached to the inner side of the front sheet is a resealable bag such as, for example, a ZIPLOC® bag. The front sheet contains at least two creases across its width to allow the sheet to fold over itself, and the resealable bag with it, at least three times. After the front sheet is folded over, it is secured by a waterproof closure mechanism such as, for example, three pairs of corresponding VELCRO® strips. This provides extra barriers to the infiltration of water when the user is in the water. |
