These kinds of lower, often-slanted-up-and-back pockets are somewhat common in exercise wear. And they're great for the most part. Though your legs move a lot, they don't often move in a just-vertical up and down path, so as long as you have horizontal stability (very easy here as your leg curves) nothing really jostles. They do have a nasty habit of losing their contents while driving (knees often higher than waist), or sitting cross-legged. Buttons / zippers / etc combat this of course (magnetic closures are my favorite), but they are also a bit more visible and sometimes uncomfortable :)
