For several years, I was diving with my Tusa Liberator X-tens. I decided it was time for something new so I picked up a pair of Cressi Rondine-A's. Great fins, but not the best for travel (25" length). Well, this past weekend one gave out on me with a tear on the top of the foot pocket. I went back to my divelocker and pulled out my old X-tens. The spring straps I had on the Cressi's fit perfectly. I made a couple of dives with them and now don't know why I switched. Anyway, anyone looking for a basic pair of light and comfortable fins that will pack well for thravel, consider these. Mine have picked up quite a bit of character over the years which is kind of a cool thing.
