S/O running: shorts

[onthemove]

I asked on the health board but thought I would try here too:

Do these exist? I basically want lined running shorts with normal pockets for when not running, but can then go running without changing.

I like my Athleta 4” mesh racer shorts but would prefer slightly higher waist (they have a high waist option, but they are shorter!?!). What I really like is the zip pocket that fits my phone or keys, that’s not right on my back.

Ideal:
-5”
-High rise
-Phone pocket that is not on back getting sweaty and easy to get to
-lined, but not with shorts

I found some baleaf ones from Amazon, but the pocket material is so light/stretchy, when my phone is in the pocket, it hangs below the hem of the shorts.

I haven’t found anything like this. Pockets are basically a joke.

I don’t think they exist. I’ve been looking for something like this for years. The Athleta ones you mentioned are the closest thing.

I use a really thin fanny/sport pack like this. I got mine at DSG a couple yrs ago bcuz I didn't want anything bulky/loose.

It holds my keys (fob and house key), phone, chapstick (in winter), a few tissues.

Sometimes I will toss my credit card/If or money in it if I'm running to the store.

thanks, I saw these before and took the cheap way out with the baleaf ones, should have gone with these from the beginning!

I find a pair I really like for working out at tjmax and Ross. The brand is RBX. They are regular athletic shorts with spandex undershorts. Often the spandex has a phone pocket on the left leg. It probably isn’t tight enough for running but it great for walking. www.rbxactive.com/collections/womens-shorts/products/petal-running-short?variant=39741077946490

These are my absolute favorite for running but my phone would not fit in the pocket. My keys and airpod case do though. I use a spi-belt for my phone and I love it!

5" inseam, high rise, side pocket in addition to the back pocket, traditional brief liner.

Rogas are my go-to short. They're more expensive but good quality anf the fit is more flattering/not as baggy as a lot of other shorts. There's a Toolbelt style that I prefer more because it has mesh pockets all around the waistband, but I don't think it comes in high rise.

I've been looking for the exact same thing for YEARS! Why is it so hard for them to make!??

I found something pretty close at Athleta, but they've stopped making it. It was called the Interval Run Short, and I think they only ever made it in black and a dark forest green with black accents. The pockets (1 on each side) are mesh and pretty high up, but my phone fits easily without my having to struggle it in. If you find a used pair online somewhere, it would be worth trying.

onthemove -- I've found the unicorn! Unfortunately, they don't fit me.

Check out Vuori Dash shorts -- they have a back pocket, plus regular front pockets (each of which also has a smaller zipped pocket on top) -- that are big enough for my phone! They're also high rise :-)

Unfortunately, they seem to run small. I wear an XL at Athleta, but these in an XL are too tight, and they don't seem to actually offer XXL.

But if you can fit into them, I highly recommend them!

These are my favorite running shorts and finding a link to them made me realize they’re being discontinued 😤

Not sure what color/size combos they have left.
Maybe they’ll come out with a new edition of them.

Thanks everyone! I will work through the suggestions.

I did try these: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08ZKH2R45?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I would say they are pretty good for the price. Material is heavier like a hiking pant vs running short, but I’ve worn for running and they were fine. They do have a drawstring vs the loop type but I don’t care I’ll probably just pull it out. Pockets are good. I usually get XS in Athleta but I got a small and they are good.
