Favorite capris/crops for running

[CallingAllAngels]

I have shorts.  I have tights.  I don't really have anything in between.  What are your favorites, preferably with pockets and a drawstring and not costing a million dollars?

I have a pair from REI (store brand) that I love. I think they were fortyish (I used our REI rewards certificate). They are my go to capris.

I love my relay capris from Athleta. They're a little pricey, but I think I bought them on sale for about $40. It looks like they have some on sale now, depending on your size and color preferences. They have a back zip pocket and drawstring.

ETA: I also have a pair of capris from Costco, which do the job and are much cheaper, but I don't like them as much as the Athleta ones. They're a looser fit on the leg, and I prefer capris that fit more like tights. They have a small inner pocket instead of a zip back pocket. And I don't think they have a drawstring. They were pretty cheap though. I can't remember the exact price, but I'm pretty sure they were less than $20.

It has a pocket in the back that zips (I can get my phone, my car key and a gu or two in there) and I think it has a drawstring, but I'm not 100% sure.  They are compression capris and they don't move or sag at all because they are so snug, but I don't feel like a stuffed sausage.  They also have mesh panels behind the knees that I like.

I find I'm not that picky about them actually. I have Asics ones, cheap ones from JCP, some from Athleta. I wear them all.

I got these with the F&F discount at Athleta earlier this fall and like them:

athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1001031&vid=1&pid=964541002

but of course they're limited sizes now since I aim for all the sale stuff. I like the extra pocket in the 2-in-1's.  The Athleta ones don't have drawstrings, but they have wide waistbands that stay put (at least for me).

All my favorites are from gap...I usually buy at the outlet for pretty cheap. I don't think any have drawstrings but they do have pockets. At least one pair has a zip pocket.

I have a friend with a pair from athlete with really great pockets. Not sure what they are called though

I have 3 random Nike pairs that have held up AMAZINGLY... I've been wearing them for 6 years and they're still great
ETA- actually one of the pairs is 9 years old and you'd never know it!

They don't have pockets or a drawstring but I don't need it, I love ON compression capris, they are the only ones I wear

I have these and wore them once and love them so far. I forget if they have a pocket but definitely have a drawstring.

Lululemon run inspire crop. I know some are not fans of LLL but I firmly believe these are the best running crops ever. They have a drawstring, a zipper pocket on the back and pockets in the waistband. And a bonus is that they are flattering.

Under armour heatgear capris. The very basic ones are my favorite.

I have some Fila ones from Kohls that I LOVE. They are perfect

Another Athleta relay capris fan. Absolutely my fave capris for running, and they have held up incredibly with repeated washings.

I like my Zella capris, because they move well and have held up really well. My only gripe is that they bag at my knees.

Lucky! While i love my Zella's, the waist tends to fall while I run.
