Running leggings

That have a little key pocket and a pocket for my phone.
Does anyone have a brand that they’d recommend? The pickets are essential for me as I take my phone and hate the arm cuff things. I have one pair that I’m washing and wearing constantly and live in fear of the day they die but I got them from tx maxx and it seems they are an American brand that aren’t available here.
Ideally black but just nothing flourescent or patterned, must be thick and must not ever fall down or need rearranging!
I feel like I’m searching for something that doesn’t exist. Price isn’t important, will pay whatever for a couple of new pairs to add into the rotation.

Another vote for Sweaty Betty

Most running (rather than gym) leggings have a key pocket. Asics are my favourite for function at a reasonable price. IME though, the weight of a phone will pull the tights down. A Flipbelt is the way to go, if you need to run with your phone. You don't know it's there.

Decathlon trail running leggings are great for pockets. And not just those annoying ones on the side of your leg which must make me run lopsided as I always get knee or hip pain.

Does anyone have some with drawstrings? And a zip pocket? I got some Nike ones years ago but they are falling to bits.

Another vote for the SB Power leggings. Eyewateringly expensive but brilliant.

They also do the most amazing hiviz version which is what got me hooked, for running on dark village roads at night.

Recent convert to the Sweaty Betty power leggings. It hurts how expensive they are, but for running and gym I can’t fault them and the phone pocket and zip key pocket are fab.

I've had many pairs and can really recommend ones from Marks and Spencer. Buy ones that feel a little tighter than you'd like as they do slacken off a bit. Good prices too!

100% Sweaty Betty power leggings. Worth every penny!

DietrichandDiMaggio · 14/02/2021 15:24

I found my SB power leggings do slip down if I run.

I have a pair of Decathlon trail shorts with pockets in the waistband that I love, so I just wear them over leggings if it's cold.

Queenie ke do leggings like you have asked for.

They don't roll down either. They have high waisted versions also.
