Apollo Bio Fin Pro C Magic

[jar546]

So I buy a set of large (L) Bio-Fin Pro C's with the ss springs and love them. Then I start using rockboots with my DUI and realize I need a larger size fin. They work but the springs are really maxed out.

I decide to spend the money and get a pair of the same from Apollo but this time a pair of LL's (I ordered XL but I guess this is the way they are marked). When they arrive, I am happy to see that they are exactly the same size as the pair of Larges that I have which I was worried about them being too big for travel.

Anyway, I then get nervous as they are the EXACT same size as the Large. WTF I ask myself so I start to take measurements and notice that every single measurement I took between the L and LL. Now I am thinking they were marked wrong in the die during manufacturing and I have to send them back.

Then I try them on. Holy crap they fit better and are larger but only when I wear them. Take them off, measure them again and sure enough, exactly the same size as the L. So I just think this is magic. How does this work?

jar546: The foot pocket is larger on the LL/XL.

So LL and XL mean the same thing?

I measured the foot pocket too and could not see a difference. Thanks for the quick reply but you ruined my magic theory. :shocked2:

Jar546: The foot pocket is larger-wider. Did not mean to ruin you magic. If they fit and work well that is the magic.
