My Favorite Sports Bra Is 35 Percent Off Right Now

Like Parker Posey says in The White Lotus, “I just don’t think, at this age, that I’m meant to live an uncomfortable life.” For me, that means I refuse to run in a sports bra without pockets.

For as long as I’ve been a runner, I’ve been chafed (sometimes literally) by the struggle of carrying my phone on a run. Traditional running belts sagged or squished my stomach a little too tightly; armbands irritated my skin during the summer. Leggings pockets sometimes worked, but only for short runs, when I didn’t need to carry fuel. And just holding the phone in my hand? A one-way ticket to a cracked screen that I simply can’t afford to deal with.

That’s why I’ve been thrilled to watch firsthand as sports bra companies have gradually awakened to the genius that is the pocket. I’ve tested over a dozen sports bras with pockets in the past few years, and Brooks makes some of my favorites. Like any high-quality piece of running apparel, the best sports bras can be pricey (often over $60). But right now, Brooks sports bras are on sale for 35 percent off, bringing the cost down to well under $40 for some of their most-loved running bras with pockets. As a self-certified sports bra expert, here’s what’s worth shopping at this Black Friday sale.

Brooks 3 Pocket Sports Bra (29% Off)

$39 $55 at Running Warehouse
If one pocket simply isn’t enough, how about two more? Extra stash pockets under the arms hold gels, a key, or a credit card.

Brooks Plunge 3.0 Sports Bra (34% Off)

Brooks Crossback 2.0 Sports Bra (34% Off)

Brooks Convertible 2.0 Sports Bra

$60 at Running Warehouse
Okay, this isn’t technically on sale (yet), but considering you can wear this sports bra two different ways, it’s basically like getting two sports bras at a steep discount. Runner math!
