I've got 3 pairs of US made Jet fins in large, all with the traditional style buckle/strap. One set is brand new in bag, one set looks to have little to no use, one set used but good condition.

Looking to get:
New pair: $100 + actual cost of shipping
Used: $50 + actual cost of shipping
Reasonable offers always considered.

Do you know what year/generation these are? I thought the US ones had a spring strap and the hole on the front of the fin

No those are the Taiwanese ones. US generally have rubber strap and no hole.

Interesting, even the newer US ones? I know the older ones had the rubber strap but I thought they all had spring straps now

Are you aware of any other difference? Esp related to stiffness, buoyancy and general quality?

Thanks in advance

They use a different compound. US feel more like natural rubber (like the original style) and the Taiwanese feel a little bit more like a plastic/synthetic rubber.

I can't tell you the difference in terms of performance/buoyancy --- it's very close and I never bothered to test it.

Edit: Looking at SP website, it no longer lists the US style Jetfins. Discontinued?
