Subject: Attaching Drysuit Pockets
Hallo guys;

My drysuit is the Diving Concepts "Duraflex Pro", which has the same
ballistic cordura nylon shell as the DUI CLx450. I am expecting my
Halcyon pockets any day (actually : hour). Initially I wanted to send my
suit in to Diving Concepts for them to attach (they sew it in and
properly seal everything... if you see the suit from the inside, you'll
see that they are doing an excellent job with it.). The problem is that
I won't have the suit back for up to 2 months... that is unacceptable to
me. Last weekend, when MHK was so nice to correct my rig, he suggested
to attach the pockets myself, which sound easy to do if they are glued
on.

The problem I see with this is that the cordura nylon is not a "flat"
material and I am not sure how the pockets would stick to it. Does
anybody has experience with attaching the pockets to that material?

If you recommend not to attach it myself (I used to repair my wetsuits
20 years ago constantly, but that is a drysuit); is there an
alternative, a shop in the New York, tristate area that would have a
turnaround time of one or two weeks? Or same day service? Would Bob
Sherwood do stuff like that?

Clifford Beshers mentioned that Trey had a shop like this recommended
somewhere in Minnesota.

Looking for help

Thanks

Udo
