 It's too bad that Lotus doesn't sew a "D" ring on the inside of the
 pocket flap like the old Foster-Rowe jackets had.  With a plastic "D"
 ring on the inside of the flap and one on the outside of the flap you
 could leave your caribiner clipped on the inside until you were paddling
 in rock gardens etc. where you could clip it on the outside for quick
 access.  >>

Actually, there <is> a small "D" ring inside the pocket on their "Strait
Jacket", and that pocket is one of the optional places they recommend for
their tow line.
