    Drysuit Pockets

    So the pockets on my drysuit have seen better days.

    Looking for suggestions for some decent pockets to replace them with . Existing pockets were cheap and I guess you get what you pay for!

    Will be gluing them on my myself. Thanks

    +1 for Tobin's pockets...it is especially easy to slide wetnotes in and out of the slot without disturbing the other stuff in the pocket.

    Finally, I found a quote that's worthy of a sig line snippet:

    They certainly come in handy. I dove with a guy last week that used them to put rocks in as he was having some buoyancy issues after he did not bring all of his weight. I thought he was flipping rocks to look for crayfish to feed the bass but I was wrong.

    I had good luck with Halycon pockets on my trilam. I thought they were kinda spendy, but they are less expensive than the DSS pockets ($75 versus $90).

    I have not seen Tobin's pockets so I can't compare them, but the Halcyon pockets have 2 internal bungee loops, an internal slip pocket for wet notes and a zipped pocket on the flap that works well for small items, a signal mirror, etc.
    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but rather by the number of moments that take your breath away.
