I still own my original 1979 Jet fins they are size medium only replaced the straps once. I will be able to give them to my daughter to use in a couple of years.

Does anyone know how jet fins compare to Piranha's Torpedo Fins???

 

[MattCrunk]

Am about to do just that. I found a vintage pair on eBay, complete with their original box, for under $50. They should be arriving any day now.

Exept for age and the coolness factor, is there any real difference between the vintage jets and the jets you can buy in a store today?
