Smaller than a cargo jacket, smaller than a cargo vest, along comes the Xubaz Cargo II scarf, which multitasks as both a neck-warmer and a place to stash valuables close to your body. Made of a polyester weave with a soft sueded finish, the Xubaz has six roomy pockets and two smaller nested pockets. Load ’em up with your passport, tickets, cash, cards and small electronic gear, such as a cellphone or MP3 player. Two internal detachable straps let you secure the scarf to a waistband or belt loops. Comes in black or khaki. You’ll no doubt have to surrender it to the X-ray scanner when you go through airport security — ideally in one of those plastic bins that keeps small items from escaping. Xubaz Cargo II Scarf, $37.50, .
