Arguably, with a pack on, I don't need the pockets at all, but I always find a use for them -- usually the car key, so I don't have to fish for it in my pack, and sometimes my phone if I plan on taking a lot of photos. (I'm wearing a pair of Athleta tights right now, with two zip pockets on the sides and two on the bum, like "real" pants, and I have to say I really like the functionality for my purposes.) </p> <p>ETA Find.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation/page/2#post-1857425 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 13:19:58 +0000 Zibbets 1857425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Target's Champion brand last forever and my most recently purchased ones have a key pocket at the back.

The women’s sizes are still too short. I have several very compact, small, stretchy fanny belts that will fit under almost anything and are super comfy - I have even used them when I run marathons to hold gel, my cell phone without it’s protective case, my car keys and license, etc. and can wear one in addition to a water belt if needed. They are made by iFitness. The green one pictured below has house keys, a photo I’d the size of a drivers license and my health insurance card zipped inside ready for my morning run. I also keep a medical information card and emergency contact information. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1857376 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 07:52:02 +0000 Jane 1857376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about Sweaty Betty?

They are definitely too compressive for yoga. Unfortunately they have nearly doubled in price since I bought them a few years back. I got mine at REI and I think that they occasionally go on sale. </p> <p>The other truly indestructible tights I have are from Saucony and are about 15 years old! The "omni lx" tights are somewhat lighter weight than the salomon but they are still intended for below 40F. And they have the back pocket....This one is the first warm style I found when I was looking for them, but they do have other styles without various reflective stripes if that is your preference. </p> <p>For a good quality yoga durable pants I like prana. You can sometimes find it on super sale from places like Cabella's. I wouldn't recommend winter running in them though.<br /> [Several edits for fixing the autocorrect suggestions sorry] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856874 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 20:59:12 +0000 cherylm 1856874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High waisted Lulus and the best all the other ones slide down. I love the saddle bag pockets, perfect for a phone. Agreed - I also do not need any more weight there but it is just so dang handy. They last forever. I have a couple pairs that I have had for years and they are worn regularly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856873 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 20:53:38 +0000 Nebraskim 1856873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am into cheap and love the Target C9 by Champion brand.

I like form fitting rather than loose so that I can better see my form while I am training. I don't like to carry a wallet or handbag when I go to the gym so I found the "FlipBelt"&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://flipbelt.com/flipbelt">https://flipbelt.com/flipbelt</a>&nbsp;to carry my car and house key when I go to the gym or when I go walking.</p> <p>They also have crop pants that I personally do not have so I cannot comment on these&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://flipbelt.com/running-pants-crops">https://flipbelt.com/running-pants-crops</a> </p> <p></p> <p>BTW, I also have a RoadID (dog tag and wrist band)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856818 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 18:36:27 +0000 Janet 1856818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one of those from years ago, JG, but I forget it in the car or leave it behind -- it's just one more *thing* to remember, and I don't love it. (I don't even like having to wear a baseball cap, but I like to shade my face for sun protection). I like the ease of a pocket so I can just run out the door with a key, wherever I am.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't know why all these companies are getting tricky with their pockets. It seems a few years ago it was easier to find pockets on the back of the waistband.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856813 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 18:27:55 +0000 JuniperGreen 1856813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your search is getting hung up on the hunt for pockets (WHY so elusive???) would you consider an extra piece?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I use a flipbelt when I run - it can securely stow keys, cards, cash, and even a phone (if I take it out of it's bulky case).&nbsp; But I get that it's not for everyone.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856811 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 18:26:27 +0000 Janet 1856811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, the ones I have from 3-4 years ago that are falling down are UA. They were great for a while, but not so much anymore. But strangely enough, my Lululemon running capris from almost seven years ago are STILL working for me. Unfortunately, Lulu has changed their cuts (side saddlebag-enhancing pockets, grrrrr). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856803 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 17:48:47 +0000 Lisa 1856803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a huge fan of Under Armour, both the running and the fitness pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856784 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 17:01:51 +0000 Janet 1856784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I have a few saved in shopping carts to investigate further. I always like the look of all the ones with the mesh inserts details and fun patterns...until I put them on my body.

I still wear lots of Lulu, but have just become a big fan of MPG (a Canadian brand with US presence though) which is Mondetta's athletic line. &nbsp;Fantastic workout and casual gear at 1/2 the price of Lululemon. &nbsp;Can't say I've noticed or remembered where the key pocket is though . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/runningyoga-tightspants-recommendation#post-1856758 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 16:10:09 +0000 jill58 1856758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, have you checked Target? I run almost every day and I've found their C9 Champion line to be really durable. I like having a drawstring &nbsp;at the waist to avoid the slippage problem. You could also check Road Runner Sports online. I've ordered from them too and have been happy with their running gear. </p>
