I want to add some pockets to my 5mm wet suit, but I noticed that pretty much all the aftermarket pockets are made of shell material.
Now there are 2 ways of attaching it, glue or stitching but since the neoprene stretches while the shell doesn't how would the two interact?
I am thinking of pre-stretching the neoprene suit and then stitching the pocket on, then sealing the stitch with a tape or some sort of seal to lessen the water movement and the chance of tearing......but I am still worried about the difference in the materials.
Any thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
