BC pocket too tiny. Sugestions needed.

[divebrasil]

Hi Guys, my BC pocket is too tiny and difficult to access. I was wondering if anybody know of a solution for adding a pocket to a BC? I am thinking, if I could buy a pocket somwhere I could sew it to the BC waist straps.

Thanks a lot

X-shorts! Or any wetsuit/drysuit thigh pocket.

Rainer, any suggestions on where to find x-shorts? A google search doesn't turn up much.

(btw, thanks for the advice on BP/W! I ended up going with the Torus 26.)

Second Rainer!
BC pockets are a PA to use..

Have a look at this.

Rather than add a pocket to your BC.
The thigh pocket is a good size. ( 3rd item )

I use this when I am diving with a wetsuit. My dry suit has pockets.

Cheers

I'd advise the same. I love my thigh pockets.

Glad I could help. My gf just ordered the exact same rig. It arrives today/tomorrow. Shhh, don't tell, but I think I'm going to try it out this weekend...

As for X-shorts, I've heard from a few board members that they aren't around anymore. Seems odd, as I bought mine about five months ago. I'll look through some old e-mails to see what I can find...

Personally, I don't like thigh pockets ast they tend to slide around when kicking. But some like them. As for X-Shorts, I hope you can find them as they are sweet.

Um, not sure what you mean. Thigh pockets are attached to your suit. How do they slide around. My ONLY complaint about my X-shorts is that THEY slide around somewhat, unlike my glued on DS pockets.

You can also use a trim pouch as a pocket, the ones with that normally go around one of the tank straps. I use one that turns out to be perfect for my folding snorkel.
