X-Shorts

bellows pockets are quite large. Having two pockets of that size seems a tad overkill unless you're carrying a lot of tools.

I have a bellows pocket of similar size on my drysuit and it easily holds a 150' spool, 60 lb lift bag, and EMT shears.

Just for the record - although it's not applicable to wetsuit diving, the bellows pockets are a great size if you dive cold water with smurf gloves!

I think one pocket is pure bellows, the other has some velcro wthin the bellows that locks it down a bit, or allows it to expand...

On my X-shorts both pockets have the velcro on the sides so each pocket can be used either as a large bellows pocket (for reels, spare mask etc) or as a slimmer pocket (for wetnotes etc.).

Hi fins...
Does that system seem to work to keep the size under control?
And also, do the shorts themselves stay pretty snug to your thigh?

I have a pair of the FifthD pockets, pretty nice they stay "folded" so size is not a prob. As for the shorts, I bought a pair of shorts from my LDS and had them sewn so I can have pockets on all my suits w/o spending a fortune.
