Neoprene shorts with pockets

[MMM]

I am looking for a storage solution for my kit. I have a Halycon BP&W which I love except that I don't have pockets for things like my magnifying glass, lens caps, reel etc. I tried the Halycon glue on pocket and hated it. It was big, bulky (making it difficult to remove my wetsuit), and the glue came away every time I pulled my wetsuit on until finally it just fell off. So I thought I would try the pull on shorts with pockets. I tried on a size small at my LSD yesterday and they were huge around my legs (I believe the brand was Highland). They were also 2 mm and I would prefer 1 mm. Does anyone know if there is a brand out there that makes something that will properly fit a woman with smallish legs? Has anyone tried the ScubaPro version of this product?

Scubapro now has pocketed shorts available -- SCUBAPRO -

I use Dive-Xtras "X-Shorts" but I don't think they are sold anymore.

I was recently faced with the same problem as you, but decided to hang some pockets from my BCD d-rings (In your case they also have slots to go through the webbing). Throwing this out there as an alt fix to the shorts. Might not be a fix for the "bulky-ness", but should be a fix for the "ungluing".

Checkout piranha dive, they have a very good pocket short for a very good price.

XS scuba has pocket shorts. I use them, and they work fine.

That looks like the XS Scuba pockets I tried last summer and threw away. They shredded after just a few dives and weren't really designed to slide onto 2" webbing.

Did you consider a waiste belt pocket? some people route the long hose under them like a canister light.... see DirDirect :: Wing Systems :: Weight Systems & Pockets :: DIR Zone Belt Pocket

Are you willing to sell the crappy Halcyon pocket?

Don't know what you mean....A.) I don't sell dive gear.... B.) they are made out of incredibly tough material ---Sandra got one in around 1999, and it still looks new. She used it to route with rather than using a Can light. It has plenty of room for a reel or many other small things.
Why do you say the Halcyon waiste pocket is crappy.....Have you had a bad experience with one?

And here is the halcyon version Sandra has

Nope, I would just like to buy her used hated crappy pocket
