I live in hawaii and I sold my drysuit. With that being said, how many people have put pockets on their wetsuits?

It's the best gear modification I ever made.

I've got one on my wetsuit, as well. Sewn, not glued. I had a shoe repair guy do mine. He even accounted for the stretch of the suit.

This is something that I have thought about doing but haven't actually done yet.

I know you can glue the pocket on the wetsuit. I have seen many successes and failures. It is a nasty if you fail to attach.
You had better get the pocket that can be attached to your BC
Or
Get X-short. It ia a little bit pricey, but it is worth to invest and you can get two large pockets.... Awesome.
I glued one on my wetsuit for a recent trip. I "pre-stretched" the area where I was going to attach the pocket so I wouldn't be as likely to rip the pocket off when I donned the suit. Worked awesome and was the envy of those in the shorts as well as those with bulky BC pockets

I bought dive rite's pocket that attaches to the waist belt and has 2 thigh straps, its a great pocket, but the thigh straps are a PITA. I then had a pocket sewn on to the wetsuit, only complaint is it could have been a bit bigger... still happy with it though.

My first wetsuit came with one and I didn't think much about it, until I sarted finding stuff like watches, rings and cans on the bottom, now I realize how great pockets can be! I would use the pockets on my bc, but I can't move much with a 7mm and jacket bc. In other words, pockets are great for me. I even made sure there was one on my drysuit when I bought that.
