Freediving Fins X-Wing Apnea S EU 46-47-UK 11,5-12-USA 12-13 Mares 420417MED046

Description:

The Mares X-Wing Apnea S are purpose-built freediving fins designed for apnea and freediving athletes who want a compact, high-performance blade. The blade is manufactured from pre-impregnated fiberglass layers with variable thickness and a parabolic deflection profile to deliver efficient thrust and responsive feedback on each kick. A 30° blade inclination from the foot pocket and lateral profiles with variable height optimize ergonomics and channel thrust, making kicks comfortable and powerful at a medium kicking frequency. The short-blade design (19.0 cm wide x 61.3 cm long) offers agile handling and reduced fatigue compared with longer blades, while the moderately rigid construction balances propulsion and control. Finished in a black-and-white polygonal pattern for improved depth recognition, the fins are made with a high-quality manufacturing process and include an interchangeable shovel for customization and maintenance. They are designed to be worn without socks but remain compatible with thin neoprene booties for added comfort and protection.

Key Features:
