Would anyone recommend these for travel/snorkeling? They seem like the perfect lightweight solution considering one does not snorkel very often.

These fins are extremely buoyant. They are great for lap swim, but if you like to swim under the water when snorkeling, as opposed to floating on top, you will have to wrestle with these as they tend to make you float feet-up. Better to have neutral fins for snorkeling.

I used them for snorkeling in Hawaii They work but not well If you don't want to hassle with packing fins they will do in a pinch but if you are going out more than once I would opt for regular dive fins

These would probably work well for travel/snorkeling as they are lightweight and flexible. They're smaller than full size scuba/snorkeling fins, which means they're easier to pack, but you won't get as much power from them as you would from full size fins.

I would not recommend them for snorkeling. But they work well for lap training in a pool.

I did not use when snorkeling. I used these shoes in a water aerobics class. I did not have any trouble with them slipping while exercising. I think they would be OK.

I would recommend them, as one backpacker to another - they're small and light and great to stick into your water bladder. They work similarly to iodine but remove additional things iodine can't and don't leave a dreadful taste. I used them hiking through Africa in September and I did not get sick, so I'd use them again.

I know several people who use them for snorkeling, but they are pretty heavy, which may cause fatigue.

I've read other reviews claiming that the strap broke for them as well. (It seemed the strap was made of very nice, soft rubber, so it's a shame!) I would suggest contacting the seller/producer.I returned my pair of Ispeed goggles, since they leaked and visibility under water was blurred. I replaced them with a Speedo Air Seal XR, which seems much better aligned to my narrow face. The best fit I've got so far, however, is from a Speedo Vanquisher 2.0.

I've worn these for both snorkeling and diving without dive boots and was very happy with them. They're very comfortable.

Yes, I've used it for snorkeling and for snuba. It can be a little difficult at some points to see your screen since you are looking through a mask and the plastic case. I ended up just taking A LOT of pictures, and was able to pull enough out of it that I felt it was worth using again on my next trip. I used it with a Panasonic Lumix, which has an underwater setting and can help to adjust for the light, but if your camera doesn't, you can tweak the lighting to take some of the blue out afterwards in most programs.

No, I love these things....I am leaving to go camping and swimming again on Thursday and plan to apply on Wednesday night and should be good for the whole weekend. I don't try to go really dark -- just enough to knock off the the blindness. I truly wished I had discovered these years ago as I have spent so much money trying to find the 'ONE' and this is it!!!! Good luck...hope you like them as much as I do.

I have used them for about four hours straight and didn't have an issue with them. I know its not as long as flying out of country. They were comfortable, really good memory foam around the ear cup. I would recommend them. Hope this answers your question.

I wouldn't say that they feel heavy over time, however the pressure on your ears becomes tiring on long trips. If you think that would bother you, then I think your best bet would be to get a set that completely cover your ears unlike these which sit directly on them. Other than that, these are great. I use them all the time when I travel.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

Great for travel, as they fold up. For running, I would guess not so good. They are closed, and have leatherette pads, so probably, they will get warm. I might look elsewhere. Maybe Koss PortaPros.

Yes perfect!! They are perfect for airplanes! I was really impressed! I am speaking from experience these are the best for travel!

That is why I purchased them. They helped watching wild life, whales, eagles, mountain goats, etc. Wife says they were not too heavy. We have lighter glasses but they are larger and cheaper and not as effective. Enjoy trip!!!

I love these short fins. I do not snorkel, but I use them in the pool working out. Enjoy your trip!

I'm not sure- I can tell you they are well made . I purchased 3 pairs of these for myself and family. They fit well in s suitcase & have been all over the world with me. I've had them for 5 years. Good investment if you snorkel on vacation .
