One of the things that makes people laugh is my confession of running around with an empty hydration pack largely because it provides an easy place to hold my phone. But I’ve now compiled a stockpile of running shorts with pockets for phone that I feel good using and recommending!
One of the things I love most is new running gear. I mean it gives me an excuse to go run the second that I open it and of course in this job I have the honor of testing out a lot of things.
When it came to this list, I had some key requirements of my own and from talking with you about a good pair of shorts:
- Shorts that don’t fall down once phone is in pocket
- Shorts that don’t ride up

- Still stylish and comfort in the fit (not overly tight or moving around)
- Great range of motion
- Breathability so they feel good as we heat up
