If you like your Jets, you'll love slipstreams. Same fin, but lighter, and a tad stiffer.

Just get it. :)
 
I hv a pair of jets in pink/black, original FF and tan delta FF as well as a quattro.
I also love ALL 4 fins and do just fine with any of them. However for travelling sake I carry the original FF. Get the pro or tan delta if u like it more rigid. The FFs are GREAT for LOB especially. Small n easy to move abt plus v light to pack.

Good luck!

Like your style :)

Also, not trying to be OT, I note your profile mentions photography. That's a consideration for me as well - if slipstreams can match jets' maneouvrability, then we have a winner.

Thanks again, one and all!

Yup. Like I said, they're nearly identical... and not just in looks. If you're used to diving Jets, you'll have zero issues diving the SlipStreams. They're a tad stiffer, but you work the fins identically.

All the maneuverability I had with my Jets, I have with my SlipStreams. Very nice, recently, when I took the lighter Slips to Thailand... especially with the weight restrictions. Jets would have put me way over the top.

Slipstreams now on order from Scubatoys:D
 
I wear atomic splits and am looking for something lighter for traveling too, preferably a full foot so I can leave my boots at home. Tried their full foots on but couldn't get a good fit. Tired the mares voloss but their foot pocket didn't fit either. Any suggestions? Checked out the OMS but they're not small enough for me. I'm a women's 8 (mens 7) and euruopean 39.
