The goal - Bring a pair of shorts to the market that allows runners to carry their fuel on race day, without it impacting performance, or experience.
The idea - Wraparound mesh waistband holds fuel, phone, keys — no belt needed.
The results - 10/10 and over 1000 reviews, 4.9 star average.
I was an Olympic marathon runner, and professional for 10 years.
I genuinely fell in love with shorts with pockets. So much so I wore them all the time, and the pockets just made sense, and helped every run wether it was a car key, house key, phone for music etc. or more importantly, gels for longer runs.
I'm sure you will love them, and find it difficult to run in shorts without pockets.

Key Features
A zero-waistband construction, a double-layer build forms a 360° storage system. It makes sense and you'll likely not enjoy wearing your old shorts without pockets.
Two fast access side pockets, wether you choose to place your phone in there, or gels etc. Iphone 16 pro fits inside without any over hang etc. - My preference is gels, and phone on the back mesh pocket.
Personally I've been wearing them in training most days, but wish when I ran 2.09 I had the pockets on race day for gels. Even as an elite although we're handed drinks at 5k etc. it's nice to have some gels as back up.
I personally test every item that gets sold on the website, and if I wouldn't train or race in the products, then it won't be sold on the website. I ran 2.09 for a marathon, and had budgets like $10'000 each year for running kit. trust when I say, I've tested my fair share of equipment.
Made to perform when it matters most, we offer quality that you can count on. Like I said on the homepage, if you're unhappy, please just email (politely) and we will help things get sorted. Possibly go to my Instragram - Lionscull, or Youtube channel - Scullion262 - You'll understand, I'm not trying to con people or have unhappy customers.
As you will see below, 262 has started to support athletes chasing their dreams, and each purchase contributes towards the company, but also fellow athletes. Running has become incredibly difficult to get sponsorship etc. and so my goal is to support as many up and coming stars with their dreams as I can. So thank you.
