There is some thing to be said about equipment
maintenance!  If you clean your suit you will not have
any problems. I had DUI zipper pockets for many years.
Had no problem. On the other hand I have seen people
have problems with their Velcro pockets opening. Or
having trouble getting in to the pocket with dry
gloves. I do agree with Max.
Cheers
Adam


>Max, defending a zippered pocket by saying "I never
had one jam"is mindless.

>I've had all kinds of zippers jam. The fact is, zips
have the potential to jam, velcro doesn't. Add silt
and sand and water and the potential soars.

>But hey, don't let reason influence you. Go right
head and go with the zipper. Just remember, by so
doing you're ignoring reality. And that is a stupid
thing to do when it comes to choosing extreme diving
gear.

jam. This is not an argument rather a preference. For
what you do I guess you could make do with Velcro. I
like big pockets, but med breasts it's just a
preference. I think I will opp for the TLS rather than
the CLx.
