Review on QUEENIEKE Mid Waist 3 Pocket Running Midnight Sports & Fitness in Australian Rules Football by Tom Motko

I LOVE these shorts! I will never buy shorts without pockets ever again! The side pockets easily fit my iPhone 6 and my bulky case, plus keys, slim wallet, lip balm - now I can put the essentials in real pockets instead of my sports bra: Only downside: the fabric is very thick in places and doesn't dry very well quickly. There's an odd side "phone pocket" on the lower back, but that's a good idea. When I sweat, my lower back is one of the first places to get wet, so this pocket arrangement looks odd. It's also awkward to slip your phone in, but luckily it fits (and stays!) snug in the side pockets. The fabric is definitely not see through which is a good thing but I don't think I'd want to wear them on the hot July/August days as they don't breathe well and the fabric is 3-4 layers thick in some places. I bought these to wear on long hikes as my pack sits on my pelvic bones and I don't like low rise shorts as the seam usually sits on the hips and can get in the way on long days. These shorts have the highest waist I've ever tried (I've ordered 4-5 pairs of high waisted shorts in total) and they were the only ones that I consider truly "high waisted/high waisted". Also, the side pockets are perfect for carrying my phone with my backpack's waist belt, it was much easier to get my phone quickly than if I kept it in the waist belt pockets as usual. Also, the thigh holes are a bit looser than other similar shorts, which is fantastic because they don't cut into my skin or leave me with sausages on my thighs. And they're long enough, but not too long, they don't rub my thighs! :) Overall great shorts, really high waisted, not for very sweaty situations, the fabric is quite thick, doesn't dry quickly, but so far I really like them and I definitely recommend them!
