Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to air pocket sensors and wearable articles including air pocket sensors. According to one embodiment, an air pocket sensor can comprise a sensor enclosure comprising a substantially disc-shaped enclosure base and a substantially disc-shaped enclosure cap of a substantially same size as and joined with the enclosure base. The enclosure cap can comprise a domed portion forming an air pocket within the sensor enclosure. An electronic sensor can be disposed within the air pocket of the sensor enclosure. An electrical conductor can be connected with the electronic sensor and can extend through the sensor enclosure. The electronic sensor can comprise, for example, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a medical sensor, etc. In some cases, the enclosure can be substantially air tight.
