I forgot they had a pocket! I bought them back in the spring of 2005 when I was still doing the bmx thing. By November I had torn my right shoulder and left knee in a dirt jumping crash. Learned that even though I felt 21 at 35 my body proved otherwise! After the surgeries it was February 2010 before I could workout normally again. Well, as close to normal as I can for being 47 and 5 surgeries later!
