So light you'll occasionally need to check they're still there!

Very comfortable and practical. Be aware that the pockets are rather small, and won't take a cellphone (so some other arrangement will need to be be made), and you may experience occasional momentary panic when you forget they are there. But otherwise perfect.

Not your normal running shorts

The extra belt line pockets are simply brilliant. I don’t even notice having my phone with me.

Great running shorts.

I’ve tried a variety of running shorts, including Lululemon, Tracksmith, and Brooks. These are my favorite - I have 4 pairs of them and do most of my running in them. Also great customer service - I had a seam rip on one pair and they replaced them no questions asked.

New favorite shorts

Super lightweight material, back pocket is big enough for a phone (it bounces a little but I think that's to be expected), and gives full range of motion.
