running vest with velcro phone pocket
Guide / 01
Know which closure the product uses
The phone compartment is a zipped chest pocket measuring 20 × 13cm. If you specifically need a hook-and-loop closure, verify the latest listing photos and consider a product that explicitly confirms Velcro.
Guide / 02
Check zip access with your phone inside
Measure the phone and case, place them in the chest pocket and close the zip without forcing it. Practise opening and closing the compartment while standing still before you set off.
Guide / 03
Choose based on the fastening you prefer
Zip and Velcro closures work differently and can vary in ease of use. The current product information confirms a zip, so do not buy on the assumption that the pocket uses a different fastening.
