You're a man. A smart phone does not fit into my pants pockets. My size 4 pants pockets are proportionally smaller like doll clothes.

With women's clothes pockets are decorative, not useful. Women have complained about this for decades.

@LiterateHiker YES, I don't understand the clothing industry. Try finding MT long sleeve shirts....LL Bean is the only place I can find them in a variety and with quality.

Thanks for your support.

I don't want to strap a smart phone to my upper arm. Sounds painful, especially when lifting weights.

I hike with people and run where people are around. Never walk at night.

@Jolanta

Thank you. I hate carrying my smart phone while running and hiking.

1. It does not fit into my pant pockets. Leggings don't have pockets. With size 4 pants, pockets are proportionally smaller.

2. If I'm wearing a jacket (rarely), I hate how the phone bangs against my body.

3. Except for hiking poles, I don't carry anything in my hands while hiking and running. I see women hand-carry their phone while running. They seem addicted to it.

@LiterateHiker I carry my smart phone on my hip in a holster. I can't even tell that it's there...but it's always there. You really shouldn't hike without your phone, especially if you're alone.

@Fit50something

I never hike alone. Hiking partners carry their phones.

Glad you found a holster that works for you. I have been struggling with carrying the damn phone since 2018 when my daughter bullied me into getting it. Love the GPS for driving directions.

1. I never wear a belt. Too uncomfortable.

2. A smart phone does not fit into my pants pockets. Size 4 pants pockets are proportionally smaller like doll clothes. With women's clothes, pockets are decorative, not useful. Women have complained about this for decades.

3. If I wear a jacket (rarely, I get too hot), I can put the phone in a front deep inner pocket. Hate how the phone bangs against my body with every step.

4. Except for hiking poles, I refuse to carry anything in my hands.

5. As a seamstress, I enlarged hiking pants pockets to fit the smartphone. The phone is so heavy, it sagged and rhythmically hit my knee as I walked.

6. Even sewed a cloth carrying case to carry the smart phone diagonally across my body like a camera. Pain in the neck. It tangled with the camera strap. Used alone, it bounced and smacked me. Aggravating.
