Just finished attaching pockets to my new drysuit, and after making a few changes from my last pocket design I am VERY happy with these new ones.

One main difference in these was the added "Stress panel" which is glued to the suit while the pocket is stitched to it.
The corners on the stress panel are rounded to prevent peeling away from the dive suit.
I used 1.5" velcro to keep the gussets folded flat when the pocket is empty. The bungee loop will threaded thru the button holes and tied on the inside to help prevent it from "flopping" out as my current one does.
Aloha, Tim
