Holding Pocket in Place

[Straegen]

I know this isn't DIR and a lot of people prefer a pocket on the wetsuit over adding a pocket onto the harness, but at least for a while I am using a small pocket on the harness. It is currently attached on the right. My question is how would you keep it locked down so it doesn't move around or fall off when I take off the BCD? On a backpack, I would just use alice clips but they don't seem like good options for saltwater.

Thoughts?

Would something like this help? Universal Weight Clip reviews and discounts, Innovative Scuba Concepts

I was looking for one of those weight keepers that looks like a plastic 3 bar slider on the ST site, but couldn't track it down. I use a pocket sometimes on my singles harness when I'm working with students. I can keep defog and a couple of other handy items in there. A plastic buckle would be a inexpensive alternative..just thread it on, pull it to the spot you want and lock it down. I use a metal one to hold my can light in place.

That is perfect... a plastic alice clip more or less. Thanks.

Same as a can light canister: An extra weight belt buckle. Use a simple weight belt keeper on the other side, if needed.

Purchase a couple since they are easy to break when trying to remove them but the do work. I have a couple spares now...
