Is Apeks Thermiq suitable for sidemount given side pockets?
Tried the Apeks Thermiq 8/7 semi dry and loved it. Only issue is that it has side pockets with a hard pull bar. Since I dive sidemount I am worried that these pockets (esp. the hard tube to pull them open) will get in the way. Do any sidemount divers here have experience with this or other wetsuits with side pockets? Are they an issue?
To be clear: I am not planning on using these pockets. I will use my butt pouch. Just want to know if they will be uncomfortable or affect tank trim. Appreciate any help!
