New "Darth-Vader-Look" jet fins

[Santa]

Some one made a post about jet fins of a new wicked design. I checked them out on some Japanese website and sure enough they look like Darth Vaders sunday morning slippers. They're also insanely expensive.

So did any-one try them out?

Maybe even pit them against the trusty old jets?

What are Darth Vaders?

I spoke to OMS last week. They maintain that the patent on Jet Fins is open to the public and that they have improved on it by combining plastic materials with the original rubber. They call this the "Slipstream", available in large/extral arge.

Further, OMS claims to be developing a really large fin with a different foot pocket. That description looks very much like the Japanese version. I imagine that when the mold is made that has "ScubaPro" replaced with "fill in the blank" many people will have made similtaneous discoveries and improvements.
