    Looking To Buy Xxl Sp Jetfins

    The XL fins are too small for my dry suit rock boots. Someone said that XXL are available, but I can't find them. Anyone have some they want to sell?

    Interesting coincidedence...yesturday I was just playing with a pair of XXL's at my LDS. I'm in WA, so that doesn't help you any; however, good ol' Leisure Pro has them in stock for $64.95 with free shipping.

    I've also noticed that Jet Fins are selling for around $55, used, on e-bay. They practically doubled in price for this holiday season. Go figure.

    how much bigger fin do you need? If you need a huge step up from your current fin go with the xxl, but if your xl's are just a little too tight the xxl may be to big. Try a turtle fin. I have a size 13 shoe with xxl dry suit boots and there are just right.

    good luck-

    I just went through the same disaster! AFTER trying the xxl jets, and the turtles. (both too big) I ended up with the super rockets, which fit like I had them made for me.

    Thanks

    After reading all the posts, it's clear that I need to try on a variety of different brands, which is a pain because the LDS carries only SP.

    Does ANYONE make a SPLIT fin with a foot pocket large enough to accomodate the Bare Rock Boots?

    I have the bare integrated boots which are HUGE:

    XL jet fins, too small.

    Mares Quatros XL will squeeze on, barely.

    XXL Jets (which I bought because nothing else in the store fit!) are actually way too big.

    Turtles just right!

    Check out fellow scubaboarder kidspots page for great info on sizes.

    I wish I did before buying so many fins.

    GREAT reference

    What an amazing reference chart! It's the most useful thing I've seen (my LDS has been no help) and tells me that turtles are the best thing for a size 12 Rock boot! Thanks so much for the help!

    I've got a pair of turtles for sale with spring straps. If you're interested, send me a PM.
