Default cool suit tubing routing

I have searched the forum, and have a simple question. Maybe even silly

How do you route the tubing through your suit to the shirt?

TIA

I cut a small hole in my left pocket and pull the tubing through. The 2 methods I have seen most are the one I do and also if yousuit has 2 zippers you can unzip the bottom an inch or so and route them out under the zipper.

Yes, a good place to route is inside the pocket so the opening is still covered by the fabric of the pocket.

It may seem counterintuitive to use the left pocket... right up to the time your all strapped in and realize you forgot to connect the tubing and need help from someone outside the car. Left side (outboard) just gives easier access.

I just used my homemade cool suit this weekend. I went out the center zipper out the bottom. Worked good. One thing to consider is where your lap belts fit and relative to any holes.
