The zippered back pocket and deep side pockets are good for not losing phones, keys, wallets , while moving.Second pair I own deep pockets good for holding baseballs back pocket also deep good for cell phone would highly recommend.SUper comfortable, perfect for my slow pitch team. The back pocket helps because i can put my batting gloves in it. I also occasionally just run to the store with gym shorts on, so its convenient for a wallet as well.The one downside is the waistband has kind of a rubbery smell to it that still hasnt gone away. Not that it matters to me.Product is great, picture is WAY OFF from the actual gray color... Beware as this is a very LIGHT gray...... It happens to work for me but make sure you get what is picturedVery nice and my son loves them. Just a note that Marucci sizes seem to about a size larger than other clothing.Some of the best athletic shorts. ALMOST perfect, to me. Love the deep pockets in front and zipper one in rear. But know these are fairly long. Longer than any others I own, but still the best!My husband loved them and I bought two more. The pockets are great and the back zipper pocket keeps his wallet safe.Bought for my husband. He has a 32 in waist and these were a great fit! Very comfortable and great for summer sports.
