Gear Question- Backplate- Pocket(s)

[Doc Harry]

If I'm diving in swimming shorts or a shorty wetsuit, I use the Dive Rite pocket on my right-hand waist strap, held in place with a weight-belt buckle. I have used this on multiple trips and it has been very successful.

Otherwise I have pockets glued to my wetsuits.

Dude..... gym.....go!

Really?

particularly those involving routine contact with mud, silt and sand... the decision becomes more critical.

Might I suggest a peak performance boyancy class to you, to avoid routine contact of your velcro with the above mentioned conditions?

Devon,

Why do you even need pockets? Can't you put a luggage rack on those tanks where your elbow is, attach a dish drain rack with some bungees, so you can just reach in and get what you need?

No space for that...and it'd get hammered and entangled. I've spent 15 minutes squeezing through a hole before... inches count.
