Neutral, stiff fins recommendation

[Kylebee]

I am looking for a neutral tech fins as Jetfins gets too heavy for me. I tried RK3HD fins, but I hated them because I feel that they were really floppy. Deep6Eddy's foot pocket did not really fit me. I am stuck on choosing between OMS Slipstream vs. DR XT fins. But I am afraid that Slipstream is not stiff enough.

Yeah me too the PreJet only has half a pocket

Reminds me of a guy digging a hole in clay for some plumbing and by lunch he still had only half a hole

Same foot pocket as the Jet, which I really dislike.

Are you sure about that, because I don’t recall that being the case at all.

Not sure how you consider the foot pockets even similar. They definitely aren't the same.

Maybe the set I tried just wasn't large enough for my feet (pretty common). They felt that similar feeling of dangling off my toes.

Where it starts

where it stops

Still they are the same and yet substantially different

then keeps going, stops again, to go on, some more

I use non-HD RK3s while diving wet and quite like them. The last time I was in Egypt the dive guide let me use his slipstreams. They are so much better than rk3 because they are stiffer. If I could go back in time I'd buy the slipstreams.

I think the Slipstreams are ok for e.g. wreck penetration, but size L is somewhat short (49cm total length) in open water with current.
