I've seen some other threads talking about a manufacturing defect in a batch of Hollis F1 XL's. I decided to take a look at my F1s and I was suprised to notice something I hadn't noticed before. One of my foot pockets is torn.

Any hope of repairing or replacing them?

I guess Hollis doesn't monitor this forum anymore.

I have, as well as several friends, have been diving these fins for several years without a single complication. Contact Nick ASAP he is a stand up guy!

Yes, agree, a little slow (busy) but a stand up guy. Email him directly, PM me and I'll give you his email if you don't already have it.

PM sent.

Just call Hollis and ask for him. Tell whoever answers what the problem is. I've said this before regarding Scubaboard mfg forums. They are great but it is not always possible to monitor them the way some do. First call the dealer you got them from. If no resolution there call the company before you email them. They get butt loads of emails from everyone and a lot of spam. An old fashioned phone call is still the quickest way to get something done.

Someone on SB PM'd me an offer to buy the fins and they ship out today. Moving on to Hog Tech 2's.

Black is a nice color. Are the red's any easier to see in low vis waters? That would be my only reason for considering red.

A little better but not by much, I own some red fins and they look brown underwater. Yellow or white I think is the best for low viz. My local site has pretty poor viz 80% of the time like 2-3m was looking at some yellow Jets but they don't seem to be available at the moment.
