The blade of the new Mares Razor Matrix freediving fins are made up of layers of carbon fiber and glass fiber.

With replaceable blades, these fins are ideal for experienced freedivers. The side-rail and stinger design improves water flow toward the V-shaped tip, improving propulsion and decreasing leg stress due to the design. As a word of advice, however, make sure you wear a 3mm neoprene sock with these to avoid any risk of forming blisters – what a way to ruin a dive day!

These high-quality fins provide an unrivaled acceleration and reaction combination because the blade boasts varying thicknesses along its length, finishing with a fishtail tip to create an outstanding parabolic bend.

This product is ideal for both advanced and experienced freedivers who know how to make the most of the technical detail in these fins.
