Freediving Fins X-Wing C-S Medium Black-Green EU 46-47-UK 11,5-12-USA 12-13 Mares 420422MED046

Freediving Fins X-Wing C-S Medium Black-Green EU 46-47-UK 11,5-12-USA 12-13 Mares 420422MED046

Description:

The Mares X-Wing C-S are high-performance freediving fins engineered for spearfishers and freedivers who need agility and responsive propulsion in a compact package. The blade is built from 11 layers of 100% pre-impregnated carbon with 3k woven fibers oriented at 0° and 90°, pressed in a mold with variable thickness to deliver parabolic flexion and excellent energy return. A 30° blade inclination makes the fin a natural extension of the tibia, optimizing kick mechanics and reducing strain on the ankle. Variable side ribs and optimized channeling improve thrust and control while the medium-strength blade balances power and kick frequency for a wide range of users. The fins are designed to be worn without a neoprene sock and feature an interchangeable blade construction for easy maintenance or upgrades. Pairing with the X-Wing Colored Foot Pocket (olive green) offers effective camouflage for spearfishing.

Key Features:

• 11-layer blade made from 100% pre-impregnated carbon for high strength and responsiveness
• 3k woven carbon fibers oriented at 0° and 90° for balanced stiffness and durability
• Variable blade thickness with parabolic flexion for efficient power transfer and smooth kick profile
• 30° blade inclination to align kick mechanics with the tibia, improving comfort and propulsion
• Optimized channel thrust and variable side ribs for enhanced control and reduced energy loss
• Medium blade stiffness tuned for versatile kick frequencies and a broad range of diver weights
• Compact, medium-length blade (600 mm) for improved agility and maneuverability in confined or complex environments
• Interchangeable blade construction; compatible with X-Wing foot pockets and usable without neoprene socks

Recommended Use:

Ideal for advanced freedivers and spearfishers who require agile, high-efficiency fins for dynamic underwater movement. Best suited for coastal spearfishing, breath-hold diving, and underwater hunting in open sea or reef environments where maneuverability and quick directional changes matter. Performs well in moderate to calm sea conditions and can handle variable currents when combined with proper technique. For best comfort and thermal protection, consider pairing with thin neoprene booties when needed; blades are interchangeable for tuning stiffness to diver weight and preference.
