PERFECT for RUNNING

These are light, durable, and practical for running. They feel free when on the run and the quality lasts. They will practical options for phones, keys, and shirts that come off during runs.

Overall, amazing

Especially during the summer, when it’s extremely hot, the flexible material makes it breathable and comfortable. I also love the pocket in the inside, so I do not have to carry my phone in my hand, I had to get one in every color

Convenient for an everyday run

Bought this to help me cross train. Looking to hit 5-10k runs on a regular basis. Has a convenient pocket in the back, and a pocket for your phone on both legs that runs tight to your body. It has exactly what I was looking for and nothing more. Not a fan of the bells and whistles on some of the newer workout clothes.
