Just got them in today and a few are going right back out for pre-orders. Free shipping on these! You guys are really going to like these to the lower 48, I havent had a chance to dive them yet, because they just came in, but the spring straps are really nice and YES, they are adjustable!!!!!

How does the foot pocket size on the XL Hollis fins compare to XL Jets or Slipstream fins? Is it a "modern" foot pocket, or same kind as in jets?

Its a very flexible foot pocket with a little wider pocket for drysuits. Its hard to compare to either of those because they are a stiffer pocket than the Hollis. Its just like the pocket on the V-12 which, if you have seen it, is very flexible and accomodating for different boots.

How is the buoyancy of the fins? Are they as negative as Jets?

The actual weight of each fin out of water is 3.40 lbs, and in water just slightly negative at -.5 lbs.

That's freshwater. In salt they are damn near neutral. I've had mine since February. Been in Bonaire, warm water lake, cold quarry, and lots of pool time.For a full review of them check the Hollis forum and look for my post. I love this fin. It is well designed and thought out. And it works.

As a pro I expect to be paid. If that's too much to ask then expect the kind of service you would get for free from anyone else.
