Spring strap size

[andy b]

Hi

I've got a pair of XL Scubapro jet fins, and they fit really well. I'm looking at purchasing Halcyon springs, but not overly sure what the best size would be.

Any thoughts? Do XL jets go with XL springs, etc?

Cheers

Unless there is a specific reason that you want to spend a lot of money on the Halcyon ones then why not have a look at Woz's spring straps:

A little bit of work needed to fit them but a great saving and a great bit of kit.

In terms of sizing Underwater Explorers suggested I put the fins on while wearing my drysuit and then measure round the heel from one attachment point to the other. This gave me a good ballpark idea on the length of the spring.

Although it will no doubt lower the level of debate I'm happy to say my measurement was 10.5 inches!

UE advise you to get your fins on along with your boots and measure. I initially ordered Medium springs in haste to go with my XL Jetfins and size 9 feet. These were too small, I swapped em over for large springs and they fit a treat.

Go for the Agir-Brokk springs. I use them on my Jets XL, excellent.

The Agir-Brokk springs are a better build than the Halcyon ones, The Halcoyon pins tended to bend out of place after use as theses are more suited to wet suit booties than dry suit boots. Cheaper also.

Cheers.
