Thigh Pockets for Wetsuits?

[Rainer]

I'm wondering if someone makes thigh pockets that can be added to a wetsuit (i.e. a wetsuit that did not come with them). I dive a 7 mm Deep See Quantum Stretch Wetsuit. If something like this exists, would it deep to be permanently attached (e.g. glued on), or would I be able to slip them on/off? If both options existed, do people have opinions about which would be better? I'm really looking for a way to get my slate (which I like having, but which is bulky and a bit awkard when clipped to my BCD) off of my BCD and stored away.

I prefer X-shorts for their "use on any suit and no glueing required aspects".

Like a pair of shorts with pockets...OK, that's exactly what they are

They have a drawstring at the waist that you can tie up and tuck away.

I don't wet-suit dive much, but when I do, they're awesome to have.

Let me know if you have questions.

Yeah - sounds great....but are they being made any longer? I haven't been able to find them!

Well, since Tobin linked to a set of glue-ons for $90.00 each, I'll sell you the size you want for $160.00 USD including shipping to the moon......

And you can use these on any suit you want, unlike those nasty, expensive glue-on styles.

I googled around for the X-shorts, but it would seem the company no longer sells them (??) since they don't appear on their website. Any ideas where I could find them? About how much do they go for? Given that I'd want two pockets, the ones Tobin linked to seem amazingly expensive (more than half the cost of the wetsuit! though they do look quite nice). Any other thoughts?

I used to see a few pairs on ebay, like a month ago. Just looked and didn't see anything.

They were dumping the last of their stock. Good prices too.
