Attaching thigh pocket to wetsuits?

[Tegg]

I there a good source for the best way to do this? I just got a new 7mm 2pc and was wondering.... Is velcro an option? I ask this because my suit is 2 piece and depending on wether I wear both or not, it can affect possible locations for the pockets.... thanks.

My buddy uses it with his wetsuit.

It attaches to the BC/BP belt and has velcro that goes around the leg.

I used it once to hold a camera and it worked really well.

This is one option you could use.I have never used so i cant comment on it.

Heres another "permanent" option http://www.halcyon.net/catalog.shtml look in the bottom left hand column on pocket installation.

Here are the instructions cut and pasted though...

How do I attach my Halcyon pocket to my wet or dry suit?

Necessary Tools: chalk, small brush, small roller

Recommended Adhesive: McNett Seal Cement

1. Don suit and hold pocket in desired location. (Recommended placement is on outer-thigh to keep the pockets out of the flow)

2. Use chalk to outline the desired location for pocket.

3. Remove suit and place on a hard flat surface.

4. Apply first coat of Seal Cement around outer one-inch strip on both the suit and the pocket.

5. Allow the adhesive to get tacky for about ten minutes and then apply a second coat.

6. Allow the adhesive to dry until tacky, for about ten minutes, and then apply a third coat.

7. Again allow the adhesive to dry until tacky, about ten minutes.

8. Place the pocket on the suit in the exact location desired. (Make sure it’s correct since it will not move easily at this point)

9. Use the roller to roll the pocket on the suit.

10. Allow drying for at least 24 hours before diving.

Also if you decide to go the permanent route www.fifthd.com sells bellow pockets for about $30.00 and they look just like the halcyon ones.
