    HELP! OMS Slipstream sizing

    I have a pair of OMS Slipstream size large fins that I need to buy spring straps for ASAP but I don't know what size to buy and can't find a sizing guide anywhere. I wear a women's size 6 bootie and I know the large spring straps are a bit too loose. Should I go for small or medium? Any advice appreciated. THANKS

    I think the OMS spring straps are 0.5" shorter for each size - ie M will be 0.5" shorter than L

    ...that is if you're talking about the genuine OMS straps. Halcyon/Scubapro straps are 2" between sizes, and also fit Slipstreams

    Where do you measure from? The end of the metal or the plastic?

    Not having any local dealers who had any Slipstreams in stock, I sent my wetsuit booties to ScubaToys and they sized my Slipstreams and spring straps from them.

    Worked out perfectly.
