Hi Brendan,

In a size 12 you would be safe with the XL's. 13's you would probably want to move up to the XXL. This will provide you with enough room to move the springs around to get everything perfectly balanced.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nick, sound like I need to try a pair on just to be sure.

What's the buoyancy on these suckers? Positive/Neutral/Negative?

Actually, I have another question, now that I have my fins (which I really love by the way, especially the foot pocket and spring strap, which are perfect). My fins came with some sort of coating on them. Is this something I should remove? Something I should maintain in some way? What is it?

Hi Kevin,

Each fin out of water is 3.40 lbs, in fresh water just slightly negative at -.5 lbs. and in salt water, near neutral.

Thanks,

Wow. Those are some big steaks. Thanks for the info.

DJ,

The coating on your Hollis fins is a protectant used from our factory to help condition and preserve the rubber. After a few dives this protectant will wear off, but we suggest a periodical wipe down with your favorite silicone spray or armor all.

Happy to hear you recieved everything ok.

Thanks,

Hi Willem,

Size Regular will be shipping towards the middle of September. XXL sizes will follow shortly after - October/November? That is my best guess right now.

Thanks,
