Weight comparison: OMS Slipstream & Tusa X-Pert Zoom

[AndyMoreno]

Hello,

I've currently got a pair of black XL Zoom's but want to get something lighter, and also taking slightly less space in my bag...

I've been looking at Jetfin's for a while but they seem very very heavy, and the OMS ones are both lighter and stiffer according to what I've heard, both things that appeal to me.

So, does anyone of you have both? Could you compare the weight?

Thanks for reading,
/Andy

The Slipstreams are lighter and neutrally buoyant. They are stiffer and much harder on the legs for a standard kick, I have found they are much better for frog kicking.

Wayward Son (who makes very nice custom spring straps) reported there's about a 1 lb difference. See http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/fins-masks-snorkels/258823-alternative-jet-fins.html Post #6.

I don't have Jets, but I did measure the weight of XL Slipstreams and reported it here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/fi...-oms-slipstreams-fins-straps.html#post3694657 Post #13.

If you can find a weight for Jets (might even be buried here on scubaboard, although my first look didn't find it) then Bob's your uncle.
