This hasn't been too much of an issue with me at comps. I just carry around a backpack, or lose some pounds walking back and forth from the pit. The annoying part is definitely more with where I put my phone and wallet as I like to have those with me at all times. I just carry arround a phone/wallet case with a band to wear on your wrist. Thank god for NYC weather so I usually just stuff that mass into my boots when needed. It might be a bit more helpful to have bigger pockets for daily life though.
I work in a lab for the summer, and I like womens pants for the reason i don't accidently put something in my pockets. Don't need to take home any hydrogels accidently

.
I mention this because when I was wearing my coat and did have pockets at comps/in the robo lab , I found myself taking home saftey glasses and locknuts home a lot. I should probably return those soon
Also, I didn't realize cargo pants went out of style/were never in style. I always found my womens cargo shorts quite fabulous. #hatersgonnahate #immastartafashiontrend
