Owning both a pair of Full Foot Jet Sports and Open Heel Jet Sports, I figured I should jump in on why I have both, and when I'll use these vs. the open heel edition.
In short, wearing these instead of my open heel JS' comes down to trading off comfort for more power & speed. From pool tests, I can go about 10%-20% faster with the full foot edition, so when water temperature cooperate (generally above 70 degrees), I'll squish these on over a pair of light neoprene socks.
Still, the power co...mes at a price (vs. my Open Heel JetSports of):
- more leg strain (I'll get leg cramps with these if I'm not properly hydrated),
- slower/harder to remove in the water & put on,
- colder feet as I need to wear with thinner neoprene socks to get a good boost (vs. my 5mm boots)
Still, when currents are strong, and the water is above 70 degrees, I have yet to discover a faster set of fins on the market.
Very nice fin, I have heard some Complaints about fit of the foot pocket. I had no issues with the foot pockets wearing size 11 soft boots. Comfortable, nice power. I would recommend the fins.
If you're a fan of traditional blade fins, the Jet Sport Adjustable will impress with its power, acceleration and maneuverability. Lightweight and comfortable, with a big, slightly stiff blade and a soft rubber foot pocket, this fin generates propulsive kicking power, provides good stability and makes efficient work of frog and dolphin kicks. The fin blades drag reducing vents substantially decrease resistance on both up and down strokes. The fin is easy to maneuver too; responsive in turns and able to back you out of tight spots with ease. Fin blade is construction from three materials which optimizes flex and comfort to achieve a high level of performance. The rubber foot pocket molds comfortably to your foot, and the strap adjustments and quick-release buckles make donning and doffing the Jet Sport Adjustable oh-so-easy. Effective non-skid pattern protects against slips on wet surfaces. Fin weigh 3.55 lbs. (1.61kg) and are available in multiple sizes and colors.
This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

What length of springs for a size XL, boot size 13?
Mario C
That is not a proper way of choosing spring straps as different boots on different feet will fit a fin differently. You should know the distance from buckle to buckle of strap you get with boot and fins on to find a proper length of spring straps : )
Hope it helps

The size chart takes in consideration regular tropical boots. If your boots has very thick soles than move a size up.

Q/A on scubapro jet sport fin indicate spring strap AQUEZR will work with these fins, the description on the strap indicates they will not work with scuba pro, which is correct and what spring strap will work with these fins?
KEVIN F
The AQUEZR will work on the Scubapro Jet Sport. If you are just replacing the strap and leaving the original buckle assembly on the fin, it is an easy switch. If you need to replace the entire buckle assembly, it will work, but the installation may require a little effort.
