Re: Spora pocket replacement?

Connor searched a replacement for Sporasub-Dessault footpockets, but since Sporasub makes no more any fins with replacable blades, he was indeed looking for alternative. However Dessault offers these foot pockets in improved version, so it is still possible to get them. If you do not have the chance to try the footpockets, it may be better to take the ones you know are fitting. Personally, I use Beuchat footpockets, and had the new Dessaults too, but there is a slight offset in their sizing. I had problems with the Dessaults - the small ones are too small even with a 2mm sock, and the big ones far too big even with 5mm socks. Beuchats are fine for me. It means if you know Sporas/Dessaults are well fitting, you may have similar problem with Beuchats. The additional problems of reusing your old blades (especially if you have some expensive ones) in a different incompatible type of footpockets may not be worth of it.

Another interesting option are Effesub Master PRO Evolution footpockets - they look indeed sweet: PINNE - MASTER PRO EVOLUTION - Effesub, but the problem with the right fit remains, unless you have the opportunity to try them.
