George, I think I'll turn your comments into an improvement on what I have now. Thanks. The pocket (one only on the left) has been there since June last year. Just checked the suit and my dive log, 58 fresh water cave dives and 42 salt water ocean dives on this suit (1/8" G-231N EBD dry suit) to date and the pocket still looks tight, just slightly worn like the suit. Think I'll stop at the shop Wednesday night and see if I can stich it up with the BONIS machine. Might even be able to talk Evie into doing it for me. You don't have to use the "S" word as it only applies to someone not willing to listen, learn, and get on with doing it right. When I get my TLS I'll consider the DUI pockets.
