HOG Tech 2 Fin - (Closeout)

These are kick ass Tech Fins that will move you through the water. The wide foot pocket works well with my drysuit for getting them on and off. These are powerful fins for advanced divers (no bicycle kicks). You are going to be amazed if you have been using split fins in the past. They are also amazingly comfortable on your feet while diving

I used these on my trip to Mexico. They were great on my boat dives as well and my Cenote (cavern) Dives. The short and powerful fins were definitely great in the calm cavern. They are slightly negative and heavy but fit wonderfully in my suitcase. Foot was more comfortable for me than Jet Fins as I have a wide toe box and high instep.

I've got about half a dozen dives with these fins now. Very happy with the purchase. They appear to be plenty powerful, they are small, good for tight spaces, they are also pretty heavy and have a big foot pocket so they are my goto fin for diving dry. Big plus that they come with the spring straps. I think they are a fantastic value at the price they sell for.

This is great for tight areas. It provides good control for hovering and great powerful. It is greatly priced. The weight is good.

Really nicely made fins. A warning though, the foot pocket is HUGE. I do not have dainty feet (my drysuit rock boots are a size 13) My Hollis F1's are a XXL, the Tech 2 fins in a XL have almost the same size foot pocket. I'm moving down to a petite L :-)

I have 2 different sizes that I use. A larger pair for my drysuit boots and a smaller pair for my wetsuit boots. The smaller pair is size Medium and is very small. Even so, they work really well. I bought the smaller pair to replace my split fins for diving in ocean currents. They work great.

The Hog Tech 2 fins are the best I have used so far. To make it even better, they are not as expensive as some of the other tech fins out there.

Not much to add that others have not already said about these great fins, so let me try to help out with a question that I am sure many drysuit divers will have.

What size fin do I get for using with my rock boots?

I wear Converse Chuck Taylor high tops instead of traditional rock boots with my drysuit. My Chuck's are size 11 and the HOG Tech 2 fin that works with this size "boot" is the XL. Hope this helps!

Thanks DRIS for a great pair of fins.

I got these fins to dive with my drysuit and they work great, they are weighted well to counteract buoyant feet and provide tons of force for gliding through the water with ease, they do seem to fit a bit small though.

I dive mainly sidemount and it's a good alternative to the heavier Hollis F1 and SP Jetfins. I own the XL sizes of all three which weigh: HOG T2 ~3.0, F1 ~3.5, Jets ~3.3 lbs (per fin). You lose a bit of power due to the compact size but for controlled propulsion in wrecks and other overhead environments it can be a plus. And it's travel friendly as I can fit it in my carry-on along with a Stealth 2.0 rig.

The other big advantage, and the main reason I bought the HOG T2 in the first place, is the generous pocket size. It's a tad bigger than the F1 and the XL fits my SP rockboots (size ML) comfortably which is great for donning/doffing on boats. In contrast to all the inaccurate hype about weight, the difference with F1 is only 1/2 lb per fin. In a trilam drysuit, difference in sidemounting trim between HOG T2 and F1 is minor (just put an extra pound toward the shoulders). In neoprene drysuits/wetsuits, the non-rubber Dive Rite XT fins are more conducive to horizontal trim. I own the size large which weighs ~2.8 lbs. Because it's made of a plastic material, it's close to neutrally buoyant in the water which for SM can be a plus. I don't use it when wreck diving in colder Lake Michigan waters.
