Is my dry suit a liability?

[Far_X]

I have a Dacor trilaminate drysuit without pockets. I have been told that I cannot get pockets attached to it by a LDS. Have I been given wrong information? If not, is there any viable alternative other than to purchase a different drysuit?

I can't remember where I' ve seen them but pockets are availabe that use webbing to attach to you leg or arm.

I have a Cordura Trilam Norther Diver Drysuit, and you can have pockets attached, but it's down to the manufacturer opposed to the lds.

Go to drysuitrepair.com to have pockets professionally sewn on or use the DIY route and buy some fifthD pockets and glue them on. After a while the corners will tend to peel and need to be reglued. Oxycheq.com makes some drop leg style pockets that velcro around your leg.

Your LDS doesn't know what they're talking about.

1) Go to a different LDS
2) buy a tube of aquaseal and a bottle of cotol
3) buy a couple pockets from divextras.com or your local Halcyon dealer
4) mix the cotol and aquaseal on an old butter dish
5) spread aquaseal on back of pocket
6) attach pocket and apply pressure for a few minutes
7) wait 2 hrs
8) done

Thanks for the suggestions (and opinions ). As to the pockets which are attached to the limbs rather than adhered to the suit, couldn't these be regarded as a potential failure point with the flexing and unflexing of muscles?

Looking for a .pdf of the Dacor drysuit owner's manual, any help appreciated.

If I'm correct both Dive Rite and OMS offer thigh pockets for your BC

I don't know anybody who likes the pockets attached to your BC and leg, and they don't really follow a DIR logic of being a simple solution.

If you can't glue some pockets on then pick youself up some snazzy x-shorts. YOu can find them on ebay, but they don't seem to be making them anymore.
