DIR wetsuit

[Dominic]

Okay, maybe a bit of an exaggeration... I don't think I can afford a nitrogen-blown wetsuit, which would presumably be de rigeur

But cargo pockets - these are easy enough to get on drysuits, but I've yet to see them on a wetsuit. So what do you DIR fans do when warm-water diving? Custom-made suits with pockets? Glue them on yourself? Decide you don't need to bother with gear in pockets?

How do you cope?

I have an OThree 5mm suit with two cargo pockets on the legs, the same pockets they put on their drysuits.

They sent me the suit, I marked where I wanted the pockets, sent it back and they returned the suit a week later. Great service, great suit. Used it so far in Red Sea with 40 dives and no sign of pockets coming undone.

PS I did check on Rubatex but they take 6 weeks to make. Northern Diver use Rubatex in their compressed neo suit but not on wetsuits. OThree used 'Jamo' or something like that.

Also 5th Dimension make a set of shorts - similar to cycle shorts - that have pockets attached. I think they are called X-shorts.

Basically you pull them on over a wetsuit, drysuit or swimming costume and instant pockets! &nbsp;

Dunno what they are like in terms of durability but I am thinking of ordering some to go over my wetsuit. Saves worrying about glue etc but I'm not sure what it does for your cred &nbsp;

HTH,

Fraser.

I have ordered a pair of x-shorts so I'll let you know what they're like when I've tried them. &nbsp;

I'll also let you know exactly how much they undermine my credibility...

Cheers Siltmonkey,

I'd appreciate it. I was kinda hoping that they would be a similar shade of black to my black suit and therefore invisible &nbsp;
