running vest with phone pocket on strap
Guide / 01
Distinguish the chest pocket from strap pockets
The phone-sized pocket is at the front of the chest and measures 20 × 13cm. The shoulder pockets are smaller at 10 × 5cm each, so compare their position and opening with the product photos.
Guide / 02
Choose a pocket for each item
Measure your phone with its case and reserve the larger chest compartment for it. The shoulder pockets may hold compact essentials, but the product information does not confirm that a full-size phone fits there.
Guide / 03
Check access while wearing your layers
Try the vest over the top you plan to run in and reach each zip without twisting uncomfortably. If strap-mounted phone access is essential, confirm that detail on the current Amazon UK listing before buying.
