Any recommendations for shorter high performance fins that will pack into standard carryon?

I have a pair of L SP Jets w/ spring straps that pack up very nicely. Much more portable than my L SP Twin Jets.

I love my SP Jets
I can only pack my reg, mask and BCD in my carryon and have no room for my fins, so I usually check them in.
I know Forcefins are short enough to go into most carryons - if you haven't tried them, you might want to try them first before purchasing, as there are probably as many divers who swear by them as those who dislike them.
You might also want to check out the Zeagle Telioz - it's lightweight (meant for barefeet or neoprene feet liners) and might be able to fit in carryons as well.
Dive safely.

Force fin, Scubapro Jets, and Aqualung Rockets II are what come to my mind.
Another vote for SP jets.....you'll never go wrong with them.
Keep in mind the larges are fairly small in length and the XL are of good size, but much much shorter than splits or just about anything else.

but stay away from XXL Jets if you want small "packers"

I wonder what the total length on a size small would be...>???
High performance for what purpose?
I am seeing lots of reccomendations for Jets, which are great for slow speed/heavy load/frog.
If you're freediving, or a flutter kicker, the reccomendation might be different. Come to think, either of these are at odds with your engineering constraint of short and packable.
All the best, James
