Has anyone used the slips with drysuit boots? I have a pair of scubapro jets that are my primary fins for tropical diving but I can not fit into them with my drysuit boots. OMS Slipstreams look identical to Jets so I was wondering if they have a bigger foot pocket for the same size? Thanks.
 
the sizes are comparable. If you are in backmount, I'd stay with Jets or go with Hollis F1's. The OMS Slipstreams are neutrally buoyant and if you are in backmount and a drysuit, you will be going nose down in a hurry
 
OMS and Jets are slight offset in their size. OMS Large is in between Jet Large and XL. Foot pockets of OMS are slightly better but I won't choose based on that. i use OMS in tropics, wetsuit or DUI 30/30 when I need neutral fins. Jet is for cold water at home, 400g thinsulate under type of temperature. I would say OMS is probably too light for drysuit in cold water.
