AL Slingshot Weight

[rrweather]

I am thinking about picking up a set of these to go in my travel bag. I know they aren't the lightest fins on the market. I was wondering if someone that owns them or has access to them and a scale could post the weight of one (or both). With the cost of checking luggage these days, I need to make sure they won't put me over and cost me more when I fly commercial. I would need a size XL so that would be the ideal weight. A smaller size will still get me in the ballpark. Thanks.

Thank you. Could you tell me how long the XL is? I wonder if it will fit into my bag. Now I need to find a used pair for sale! Thanks.

I also have the sling shots in size XL and let me tell you, they are pretty long and hard to pack in a suit case. The only way i can make them fit is if i fold the edges a bit around the sides of the suit case. Do you guys know if this is a horrible idea. They will be folded like that for maybe 10 hours. Will the shape stay folded or after a couple of dives they will just unfold?
