Finally! Women's running shorts with functional pockets! I wore these shorts for a marathon, easily and comfortably carrying my keys, phone and some gels in the well-designed pockets in the back waistband. The wide waistband allows for ample pocket storage while fitting snuggly without digging in. The compression was noticeably supportive throughout the race with zero chafing! There is a drawstring, which I don't find necessary, and thankfully was able to pull out since it wasn't fastened in the seams. I wish these shorts came in all black, or black with other colours for the logo, so I could buy multiples! The only reason I did not rate as 5 stars is because the seams at the crotch are not in the best positioning and the gusset could be a bit bigger to alleviate that.
