FOG INFO, This Post may contain dated, irreverent, and spurious bits of nostalgia, combined with tails of dubious historic significants..

I have used both Aqua Lung Rocket & Scuba Pro Jet. I still have the pair I purchased in 69' while attending Jack's Dive Emporium & Snorkel Classes(JFK's scuba school, Flemming Key, KW). They sit un-used because I like the lighter/thinner Scuba Pro FF style for both snorkeling & light dives.

they are heavy, but probably save 1 maybe 2 lbs of lead because of their dense rubber.
they are good for ice diving,, rubber holds up better
they make you work,, both the weight and width need practice,, your legs need to be trained to kick with your thigh's separated to keep from twisting your ankles, and/or any other kick you prefer
they last forever,, just carry replacement straps in your kit
they are not for the causal diver
while attending Jack's in KW, they made a set of 100 leg risers seem to last for hours, but a daily set or two will get you a nice 6-pack...
