Great fins. I like them for the occasional wetsuit.

For my personal taste they are a little to light for drysuit. But that is just me.

This is how I felt when I tried them with a drysuit before... just way too light. Love everything else about them though.
 
I was able to use them in FL when no exposure protection was needed. They were a little bouyant in saltwater which worked out perfectly. I swam some in a pool to break them in and then for an hour and a half dive with no uncomfortable points in the foot pocket.

I love my Eddie Flippers. The quality of construction and material is very high. These are fins you could take anywhere and count on them to be ready to go. I like the light weight, these are not fins for heavy exposure gear but they are perfect for warmer or temperate conditions.

I wish they had a little more snap in the tips. I wish they had a little more blade area, particularly length, just a little. But nothing is perfect and every compromise begets another. However, "best" is a personal choice and right now for my diving the Scubapro Go Sport is best and the Eddie Flippers are waiting their turn back in rotation. Not sure when that will be.
 
I don’t know where you folks get the idea the Eddys aren’t for heavy exposure protection. There are a lot of us diving them here in the Midwest with drysuits and heavy undies.
 
I love my Eddy's. They are as light and short as the ScubaPro Travel Go fins but stiffer and wider. Great for all those cool finning techniques like helicopter and backing-up.

Just one comment.... Deep6 calls them flippers.... 🤷‍♂️

Not sure about that ,the Go has a larger blade, is lighter weight and is more snappy but not as heavy duty, the strap in particular:



I prefer the Jet XL in heavy gear, a personal preference not shared by all. Mostly due to the Jet Fin XL having more blade area and being more negative in the water, Jet to the right and Eddie second from right for comparison:

Possibly the difference between SM and BM.
