The best running leggings with side phone pockets and SAYSKY discount code
I don’t know about you, but when I’m running, I’d much rather have my phone in a side pocket than zipped away at the back. It’s easier to grab mid-run, and honestly, just more comfortable. The trouble is, finding running tights that tick all the other boxes: fit, comfort and durability isn’t always straightforward.
To save you the hunt, I’ve rounded up five of the best running leggings with side phone pockets worth investing in right now.

The best running leggings with side phone pockets
SAYSKY Combat+ Tights (my absolute favourites)
Think the perfect running leggings don’t exist? These SAYSKY tights might just prove you wrong.
Made with the brand’s signature SAYSKYDRY fabric, they’re not only sweat-wicking but also buttery soft and ridiculously comfortable to wear.
Storage is sorted too, with two thigh pockets big enough for your phone plus a zipped back pocket for keys or gels.
They’ve been through countless washes and still look brand new, which makes the higher price tag feel much more like an investment. Plus, my code CHLOE15 will give you a 15% discount!
They come in several colourways, I have them in black, khaki and dark blue.
RRP: £97 or £82.45 with code CHLOE15 here (PS: my code work on both the UK and international websites!)
SAYSKY Pace+ Tights
The SAYSKY Pace+ Tights are perfect for cooler weather runs when you want comfort and performance in one. The soft brushed recycled polyester moves with you, keeping every stride effortless, while the high waist gives a secure, flattering fit.
Side pockets are ideal for your phone or gels, and the zipped back pocket keeps smaller essentials safe.
The perfect mix of comfort, style and functionality if you ask me. They’re my go-to for chilly Winter runs.
RRP: £103 or £87.55 with code CHLOE15 here

ON Performance Tights
Designed with performance in mind, making them a solid choice for runners who want comfort and practicality in one.
Crafted from On DryTec™, the fabric is breathable, moisture-wicking and quick-drying, so you stay cool and comfortable no matter how hard the session gets.
The thoughtful pocket set-up really stands out: two side pockets give you easy access to your phone or gels, while a secure zip pocket at the back is perfect for keys.
With fewer seams around the thigh for chafe-free movement, a form-fitting cut for freedom of motion, and an adjustable waistband for a personalised fit, these tights tick a lot of boxes for both training and race day.

Lululemon Fast and Free High-Rise Tight 5 Pocket
The Lululemon Fast and Free five-pocket running tights are all about a weightless, streamlined feel.
Seam-free inner thighs and a smooth waistband let you move freely, while two side leg pockets hold your phone and three waistband pockets keep smaller essentials secure.
The continuous drawcord makes it easy to adjust the fit and keeps the tights in place without constant readjusting.
Made with Nulux™ fabric, these leggings offer quick-drying, sweat-wicking coverage with engineered four-way stretch. Reflective details add visibility for early morning or evening runs, and they come in multiple colourways and four inseam lengths to suit all heights.

Sweaty Betty Runner's High Leggings
Made with a supportive, high-compression fabric that feels secure without restricting movement, these sweat-wicking leggings stretch in all directions, so you stay comfortable from start to finish.
The high waistband sits smoothly and doesn’t shift as you move, while the pocket setup is a real standout: two deep side slip pockets with added security, two at the back for smaller items, and a zippered mesh pocket for keys or gels.
The sleek, seam-free front adds to the streamlined fit, and with four colourways to choose from, these are as stylish as they are functional.
RRP: £90 - Find them here
