the pocket.

Why would failing open be a problem?
Dont you have your gear clipped off inside ?
Failing shut is what I am worried about.
Not being able to get to a peice of gear that I really need.

Zipper can fail shut. Velcros can't. Even if the "risk" is "minimal", murphy
will see to it that when it fails it will do so at the worst possible time.
If you dont have that approach to yours and others safety, I hope your not
doing advanced dives.

best regards
