Ralf Tech Seal Fins

Does anybody have any experience with these fins? I'm looking at a pair but not sure what there like. They look like the jets fins but with a slightly different fin ending. They seem only to go up to XL and I dive a o3 drysuit with 10/11 boots so not sure if they will fit and I can't find a sizing chart anywhere. I've come to the conclusion with jet fins that I'd need a XXL to fit my boots so I would have thought the same with these.

Any help would be fantastic

Thanks

Lee

I bought a new set off ebay for about £30 but they where too small so sold them on.

I am not sure why you wouldn't just get jetfins if you are going to pay £69 for the ralf tech ones...

Good question, but I wasn't planning on paying £69 for them.

What size did you have and what size boots wee you squeezing into them

Argh so long ago....
er I think they where large and I tried to get them on a size nine Othree drysuit boot and it just didnt happen, they only went round the toes.

I now use XL Scubapro jetfins with ML turbosoles on a DUI and with my XL wetsuit booties.

Thats my problem at the moment. I have o3 boots and have to lube up my ND L/XL fins to get them in!!!!!!! Novel but it works.

From what you said I may just get in them with the XL's

Mmmmmmmmm

Cheers

There are a few posts here about O3 boots and SP XL Jetfins. I think the general consensus is that they dont work and you need to stick your foot in a turtle!

I have size 10 ND neoprene boots and need to use Turtle fins.

There is a pair with springs on ebay at the moment.
