Cargo pockets

[MrMojo]

Hi all i was wondering what peoples views on cargo pockets.I am finding i need to carry more things with me in the uk dirty waters and was looking at getting a cargo pocket ,but i stuck between the ones you stick to the dysuit and the one that attach to your harness webbing and strap around your leg.The latter seem more veratile as it would not matter which suit i am wearing are there any pro and cons to the variations.All advice welcome.

Regards

At that price, put them on everything you own.
They are great additions to any wet/drysuit.

Easy to fit, and you will wonder how you managed without them.

I also have a Fifth D pocket and it is really nice. Two drainage holes also allow you to add a loop of bungee to hold items on.

thanks for the advice guys,but i could not get the website to load i shall try again later.The only problem is some stuff from america is hard to get in uk and if avilable it is at some crazy price .Any halycon gear is a third more expensive and only avilable from certain importers .

I also installed a bellow pocket from fifthd on my drysuit.I used some E6000 glue and has held up great so far.

Pockets are one of those things, it seems you either like them or not. I have them on my suits. I figured better to have them than not. To date the only thing I have carried in them is my back up decompression schedule, In case the other three evaporate, and an extra mask! I'm not in favor of carring a bag. Personally, I don't want any loose gear on my chest or sides. It would have a tendency to swing around and interfear with the management of my gear. As for something on my leg, I don't like things on my legs, knives, or bags, because of the potential of getting snagged. I also find getting into the hip cargo pocket, with all the velcro, isn't as easily accomplished.

Why Is velcro so difficult?,
Where do you keep your Shears and Spools?

I use a Viking suit nad didn't like the glue on pockets, so! bought the Cordura Nylon, velcro and fastex conectors and 1 inch nylon strap at fabric land.

A couple of hours on the sewing machine and poof.
