Sure, you can drop your phone, keys, and wallet in the side and back pockets of your running shorts. Problem is, having all that stuff bouncing around while you speed through the next five miles just isn’t very comfortable. That’s why plenty of runners prefer to carry their gear in hip packs and storage belts. The Under Armour Speedpocket Shorts offers an alternative.
Instead of the usual side and back pockets, the shorts come with a low-profile pocket on the elastic waistband that can fit your phone, wallet, or keys. Whatever you put in there sits snug courtesy of the stretchy material, ensuring there’s no annoying bouncing motion that can distract from your activity.
The Under Armour Speedpocket Shorts is cut in an ultra-light stretch-woven fabric for unrestricted motion, with mesh side panels for added ventilation, a sweat-wicking build, and fast-drying construction. It comes with anti-microbial technology to prevent odor build-up, with a weather-resistant coating to keep water from entering either in the shorts or in the pockets, so you can wear this in the rain. Features include a next-to-skin fit sans the squeeze, reflective logos for visibility during night time runs, and two conventional side pockets cut in mesh. It has a seven-inch inseam.
Available in black and gray, the Under Armour Speedpocket Shorts are priced at $44.99.
