Comments about Highland Millworks Highland by XS Scuba 2 mm Super Stretch Neoprene Pocket Shorts:

I have a 31" waist. I got the size large. It's barely big enough around the waist when wearing a drysuit!!! Maybe the medium would work for me in a wetsuit, but I'm very glad I went with the large size.

Opening the pockets when they are fully closed against the velcro...really difficult! Wow...a lot of velcro in new condition...hard to open that flap. So...look at what another reviewer wrote below. Get some extra velcro tape and simply attach to the velcro on one side or both (flap or pocket of short) to cover some of the active velcro until opening the flap is reasonable (not too hard or easy). As the working velcro wears and the pocket opens too easily, simply remove some of the velcro tape and there you go...fresh velcro available and the flap holds your gear safely without being difficult to open.

The other issue I have with the shorts results from attempting to wear them with a drysuit. The shorts need more space between the waist and the crotch. Might not be necessary for a wetsuit, but in my drysuit...I really have to hike everything up...almost give myself a wedgie...trying to get the waist of the shorts high enough to go around my hip bones, so it will stay up.

These shorts are great in warm water. I ordered a large and almost sent them back for a medium but kept them anyway and like the loose fit.

The shorts run a little large and I ended up in a Med instead of a Lg. The cut is nicer than the old X-Shorts from Dive Xtras and they're less bulky.

Great addition to warm water wetsuits for carrying spool & surface signaling device, as well as other necessities when wetsuit and BC lack accessible pockets. Pockets are large and accordion designed so produce little drag when not stuffed with gear. However, I'd sooner trade a little strength achieved with the stiff nylon material for the flexibility of neoprene pockets.

Love this thing - I always have the same things in the same pockets, the pockets are HUGE but the velcro sides keep them from just floating out there. The velcro is strong, so I put some velcro strips on the pockets to reduce the attachment areas. This is good, though, because in a few years, if the velcro breaks down, I can remove the strips for "fresh" velcro.
