Ness May 2021 3:37pm, 24 May 2021 15,341 posts	0 Ness I’ve not tried putting my phone in the thigh pocket because I was worried about it moving around. I got one of these phone holders instead.... I’ve used it for all my training including long runs (up to about 10 miles) seems ok so far. Although my phone, a Samsung Galaxy s21a, only just fits. It’s very snug.
Velociraptor May 2021 3:47pm, 24 May 2021 52,768 posts	0 Velociraptor Having seen lots of those 'phone harnesses being used in earnest recently, I'm very confident that my Samsung A71 wouldn't fit. But it fits in the pockets of my gilets, and in the back of my race vest.
Meglet May 2021 3:50pm, 24 May 2021 21,832 posts	0 Meglet My Flanci skort has arrived. Thought it would be too small but actually I think it’s just right. Just need the Fetch rainbow best to go with it now. Not sure about those phone holsters, I have seen them being used though. I’m still using the small bumbag I've had ever since I started running.
Ness May 2021 3:52pm, 24 May 2021 15,342 posts	0 Ness I think the company is going to get a few of these sent back from people who have more updated phones than me, Vrap. The Velcro flap on the top just fits over with my phone. It is quite comfortable though.

EvilPixie May 2021 4:11pm, 24 May 2021 25,427 posts	0 EvilPixie my boobs are too big for that Ness! When running long I use the vrap recommendation of a hydration vest which fits my phone skort seems ok with phone in thigh pocket but I also have a small "bum bag" that fits little more than phone and key so that does too it's no biggie

I don't have any issue having my phone in the skort thigh pocket, I almost went for one of the freetrain harness things but I think I'd get hot with an extra something fastened to me but hope it works for you Ness
Ness May 2021 4:15pm, 24 May 2021 15,345 posts	0 Ness Ah that’s ok then. I’m wondering about a hydration vest for longer run (ie if I decide to run a marathon 😜 in future) the gel pocket in that ^ isn’t very big so I think I’d need something else to carry gels.
Ness May 2021 4:18pm, 24 May 2021 15,346 posts	0 Ness It’s been ok so far, GG, but I’m not doing any really long runs at the moment. My longest training runs have been an hour and forty minutes or so. I’ve also only worn it with a vest under it. Not sure what it’ll be like in the winter.
EvilPixie May 2021 4:22pm, 24 May 2021 25,428 posts	0 EvilPixie Ness my hydration vest takes 2 500ml soft flasks with room for phone and gels and the back can, if you want, hold a bladder Think this is it wiggle.co.uk and I have 2 of these wiggle.co.uk
