Will the pockets fit skins? Or rather, can you get skins in and out of the pockets (assuming they are large enough to fit them) without trying to "put a square peg in a round hole"?It's a deal breaker question.

the pocket openings are zippered, but will easily accept skins. I also require this functionality, and usually put one skin in each pocket. the pockets are large, like 6inch x 17 inch, so a skin folded in half, and then in half again is usually a good fit.
