Freediving Fins X-Wing Apnea Soft EU 42-43-UK 8-9-USA 8,5-9,5 Mares 420416SFT042

Description:

The Mares X-Wing Apnea Soft freediving fins are designed for divers who want efficient propulsion, comfort, and reliable performance in freediving conditions. Their blade is made from pre-impregnated fiberglass layers, combining light response with durability and high kicking efficiency. The variable thickness of the fiberglass helps optimize the parabolic flex of the blade, supporting a smooth and effective kick. With a blade length of 69.3 cm and a width of 19.0 cm, these fins are built for a medium kick width and controlled power delivery. The blade features variable-height side profiles that help channel thrust and improve flexibility in the water. A 30° blade inclination from the foot pocket supports a natural swimming motion and efficient energy transfer. The soft version is a good choice for divers who prefer a more responsive blade feel, and the interchangeable blade design adds practical versatility. They are also suitable for use without socks and are well adapted to rocky or boulder-filled environments.
