I bought one, I tested it, I wore it for 26.2 miles, and now I only want to run in sports bras with pockets. Last spring, after listening to me try to figure out how I’d carry my fuel and my phone in a waist belt for an upcoming marathon (the shorts I liked didn’t have pockets and vests weren’t allowed), a friend recommended I try a sports bra with a built-in pocket on the pack. What I Tried: The Brooks Drive 3 Pocket Run Bra Sure, that doesn’t add up to a ton of extra heft, but when you’re running long distances, even a few ounces in the wrong place can weigh you down.

It’s not like a I’m carrying a purse full of essentials, but I never leave the house without my phone (I use it to play music, and it’s equipped with Apple Pay, Uber, and Maps, all of which could be necessary in an emergency) and my car or house keys plus, when I’m training for a race, I’m often carrying multiple fuel packets. What I don’t like: It can be difficult to re-insert your phone in the pocket while on the run.įor years, I’ve relied on skinny pockets sewn onto my leggings or shorts, clip-on or slip-on storage belts, and bulky hydration vests in order to carry everything I need with me on a run.What I like: Multiple storage options without adding any pain points.I’ve tried about five such bras, and the Drive 3 Pocket Run Bra from Brooks is my latest favorite. Given the athleisure-fication of fashion and the recent running boom, though, there’s another piece of apparel that can benefit even more from the addition of pockets: the sports bra. If we learned anything from the near-universal embrace of dresses with pockets, it’s that pockets are essential for women who want to carry anything larger than a credit card without having to tote around an extra bag.
