Can anyone recommend leggings with pocket big enough for iPhone 7, broken zip as phone too big for my little pocket.

Have got a belt, but prefer to carry in pocket really.

Have you seen flip belts Denbo? They are like a Lycra waistband so very comfortable to wear and you can carry a phone , tissues, etc and there’s a key clip to keep that safe too. Less than £10 on Amazon. They are great.

Primark! They do a great pair, dark grey with a mesh black pocket that holds my Iphone snugly, only £8 too. So impressed after 2 weeks of running with them I bought a second pair!

I use one of those phone cases that you strap around your arm. Very cheap one (under £5) from Tiger.

I use one of the cases that strap round your arm. Cost about £5.

I wear a pair of ‘basic’ Ron Hill leggings which have a decent pocket on the back. Plenty of room for my iPhone SE, a smaller phone than other iPhones, but I would think there would be ample room for a bigger model too. Bought at local running shop so not cheapest option, but comfortable and really quick to wash and dry.

Which leggings have the pocket? I've seen some on decathalon which look like they might fit a phone and others which look like they probably won't.

I have a pair of their run warm tights - they have a pocket side leg/hip which is perfect for my iPhone but mine is a smaller phone - but the pocket would take a bigger one. The pocket is a really handy position for taking phone in & out quickly. Some of their tights have pockets centre back which is more awkward I find.

I bought a pair of their own brand running leggings. The zipped pocket is situated on the top of the right thigh

Sugar Pocket leggings have 2 pockets which are large enough for the biggest phones. They are the most comfortable leggings ever made, come in cropped and regular lengths, about £15 per pair and have great reviews. Available from Amazon.

Well I just ordered XL, hopefully they’ll be okay for 16/18

I am a 12-14 and medium fit fine - I could be a bit larger and still wear them

Thanks all, got a very reasonably priced pair from Matalan today and probably look to buy another Capri length from your other suggestions.

Must also find my flip belt as my backup, as running without podcasts cannot be done!!

I’ve also been recommended Flipbelts but the proper original one as the cheap ones aren’t as good according to my friend who’s tried cheaper ones then bought the proper one.

There are many leggings online with pockets, not sure if they Stipulate the size.

However you can get a running belt or a band that goes around your arm to hold your phone
