designed for drysuit diving, they are
on the heavier side and feature
large foot pockets to
accommodate drysuit boots.

*Be aware that, depending on the boot, sizing may be different to that shown. Fit also depends on the individual form of your feet: for some people the sizes shown may be too large or too small.
The greater mass of the thick soles of Dry Fins shifts the center of gravity further down the leg than ankle weights. This makes it easier to keep your trim stable.
*Assuming 500 g ankle weights are worn.
With a bigger boot pocket they are easier to get on and off. Ankle weights are not needed because the fins themselves have sufficient mass. If you are confident in your leg strength and want fins that provide more dynamic propulsion, these fins are made for you.
