Where did you get the kneepads? I'm thinking about doing that after my cheapo "work" drysuit is getting threadbare in the knees.

Actually I think I said "I don't want my drysuit looking like it came from a rummage sale" ;D. I got the "standard kevlar" pads from DUI through a local dive store. They cost about $60. They are also available in a "long" version, but for my application they were to long. I think they also sell "CF 200" material pads too. Check out the DUI site for more info.

all right... but I was closer ;D

the pocket install did go pretty smoothly, I don't have any glue
'spillage' either. That stuff REALLY sticks once the opposite sides touch! I don't know what I could load into the pockets that could possibly make them come off, and I didn't glue the whole pocket, just the 1 inch strip around the edge and a 1 inch strip down the center of the pocket.
