exercise gear

I have recently become quite an avid walker, I try for at least 5-7 miles a day. My problem is that I cant seem to find pants with more than one hidden pocket to carry my daily stuff with me. I have my phone that I listen to Pandora with earbuds, my keys, gum, chapstick, a knife ( I live on the outskirts of a not very safe neighborhood, rather be safe than sorry), and some cash in case I stop for a drink or snack. I've been wearing capris but they are jeans and not the most comfortable to walk in. And I really don't want to be that walker with the pouch around my middle lol. Anybody have suggestions for good workout gear? How do you carry your stuff?

    Lululemon has some running pants which are great. They have a back zipped pocket and two pockets on the side. http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/crops-run/Illumina-Crop?cc=12418&skuId=3566700&catId=crops-run
    Kind of expensive, but wear and fit well.

    I have a hat from Tilley. They have a secret pocket in the top that I put my cash and ID in sometimes. Great for walking and hiking as they're durable and keep the sun off.

    I use an arm band I got really cheap on ebay for my phone (I listen to Pandora as well). At Kmart I purchased a bracelet type key ring (think curly phone cord) and I wear my house key on that around my wrist. I tend to get thirsty while walking so I pop a sugar free hard candy in my mouth before I leave the house (this helps me not feel thirsty as my mouth doesn't feel dry). The only thing that leaves me in my chapstick which I put in the one pocket. Hope this helps!

    Thanks! I priced the armbands on Amazon and they weren't too much. Might invest in one :)
