What is the recommended positioning of drysuit pockets?
Cheers folks, John.

OK OK... on top of your legs, under your tanks. Voila. les buttocks. See, you ********* divers need all the help you can get

John, relax your arms.. completely. See where they end up, stick your pockets there.

Ha ha - just because you like touching your ass at any opportunity...

John - you need them on the sides of your legs rather than the front and, as Mr ERD says (in rare a lucid moment

) place the bottom of the pocket roughly where your fingertips fall when your arms are relaxed by your sides.

That way you can reach into the pocket comfortably - unlike me - who's suit was clearly made for a gorillla and I have to bend double in the water to get anything out....

Kinda asked for that!!
Should have narrowed it down to side or front of the thighs.

Although its hard to beat a good grapple with both hands

Cheers folks, John.
