Pocket Jogger Shorts

I actually purchased these because Allie Ostrander posted about them on Instagram, and it was a great decision I've been looking for spandex shorts for running for a while. I have purchased different versions from 3 different brands and none come close to these. I bought the 5.25 inseam, size 6 as a 135 lb 5'4" woman. They are perfect and prevent my dreaded "chub rub". They have so many pockets, which is hard to find on a spandex shorts with an inseam less than 6 or 7 inches.

I wear these on every warm long run, and they can't be beat. There are so many pockets for storing gels, keys, chafe stick, hand sanitizer - you name it. The quality is incredible, the fit perfect. They just feel really good when you put them on. Wore them for a half and full marathon, absolutely perfect. Definitely don't hesitate to purchase.

I don't normally write reviews but I felt I had to for these shorts. I love the fit and feel and they are definitely a go to for long runs with all the real estate for gels. But I what put it over the top is how indestructible they are. I had an unfortunate incident on a run recently where I was bitten by a dog. I ended up with a gnarly gash on my hip, but I was wearing the pocket jogger shorts and they were undamaged! It blows my mind that the shorts survived dog teeth without even a thread out of place. Probably helped make my injury less severe. I'm sharing this story with all my lady runner friends.

I love my pocket jogger capris purchased two years ago. I really wanted to love these for my first Boston where all my gels could nicely store. I would wear them during my practice long runs and always had sore hips within the first mile. I went back to my Tracksmith lane five shorts and had no hip pain. Compared the stretch of these to Oiselle's capris and the shorts are way less giving. Too much pressure on my aging hips just didn't work. So, they went to goodwill and I had to wear a running pack for Boston.
