For the more seasoned freedivers and even professionals, the Mares X-Wing Carbon has one of the most responsive blades on the market.
With an incredibly snug foot pocket that’s excellent for a small, high kick frequency. This particular product has the widest blade of the Mares X-Wing family at 20cm, making it particularly powerful for experienced and athletic individuals.
A removable blade is so nice for traveling too.
Upon being lucky enough to try this exquisite pair of freediving fins, we are confident that ‘you get what you pay for’ with the Mares X-Wing Carbon. The benefits of wearing such a high-quality product are experienced right from the get-go; you will find the elastic heel tab on the back of the foot pocket makes life easy when donning the fins and we even took off the interchangeable blade to walk around our boat with ease, taking only two minutes to re-attach.
