Once you realise how useful it is to have a good pair of
gym leggings with a pocket, you will never go back
To learn more about your pocket options read on.
Let’s talk size first, because it is, almost, everything, when it comes to pockets. All our leggings come with pockets that are sized to fit most smartphones. This makes them ideal for holding your phone while you work out. Which means you don’t have to worry about anyone dropping a weight on your phone again!
So, what are your choices? When it comes to pockets, your big decisions are about the location of the pocket, and they type of pocket.
Hip Pockets – These are leggings that have pockets that sit just in front of your hips. Think about the pockets on a pair of jeans. The position means that you don’t have to worry about anything falling out as you move, and they are easy to reach.
Thigh Pockets – These are pockets that start around halfway down your thigh. Their position means that any items you put in here lie flat against your thigh, in a lower area than jean pockets. Some of these pockets will be slightly to the side of your leg. Others are more towards the front.
The advantage of these pockets is that when you have something in your pocket, it doesn’t restrict your movement. For instance, if you climb on a bike, you won’t find your phone digging into your hip as you pedal.
They can take a little getting used to as you have to reach lower than usual to use them. If you put some change in one of these pockets, you might find your self performing some strange contortions to get it out. But, since you’re unlikely to want a pocket full of change in the gym, it’s really not a problem.
Easy Access Pockets – This style of pocket has no special closing mechanism. Which means you can easily pop your phone in and out of the pocket. Typically, these pockets rely on the stretchiness of the fabric to hold items in the pocket so they can be a little snug for unusually large phones.
Zipped Pockets- Zipped pockets offer a little extra security. There is no need to worry that your valuables are going to slide out the pocket while you’re on the move. With the zip to keep the contents safe, these pockets are usually a little more spacious, not so much that things bounce around, but you can get slightly larger items in. These can be good for holding your wallet if you’re nipping to the shops after the gym.
Whichever style of pocket you decide is right for you, know that you are not sacrificing great gym leggings for them. Our gym leggings with pockets are still high-quality leggings that can stand up to whatever you throw at them.
