Freediving Fins X-Wing C-S Soft Black-Green EU 42-43-UK 8-9-USA 8,5-9,5 Mares 420422SFT042

Freediving Fins X-Wing C-S Soft Black-Green EU 42-43-UK 8-9-USA 8,5-9,5 Mares 420422SFT042

Description: The Mares X-Wing C-S are compact, high-performance freediving fins engineered for spearfishing and freediving where agility and responsiveness matter. The blade is constructed from 11 layers of 100% pre-impregnated carbon with 3k woven fibers oriented at 0° and 90°, producing a reactive, durable fin with variable thickness and parabolic flex. A 30° blade inclination makes the fin act as a natural extension of the tibia, improving power transfer and reducing leg fatigue. Medium-length blade dimensions (600 mm x 185 mm) and optimized side ribs deliver balanced thrust and efficient channeling of water for smooth, sustained kicks. The C-S (soft) blade option provides easier handling for lighter users or those who prefer a more forgiving feel while still maintaining excellent propulsion. An interchangeable blade/foot-pocket design increases serviceability and compatibility with alternative pockets (such as the X-Wing Colored Foot Pocket in olive green for camouflage). These fins are designed to be used with or without neoprene socks, giving flexibility in fit and comfort across water temperatures.

Key Features: - 11-layer blade made from 100% pre-impregnated carbon for high stiffness-to-weight ratio and durability
- 3k woven carbon fibers oriented at 0° and 90° for enhanced responsiveness and strength
- Variable blade thickness with parabolic flex for efficient energy transfer and controlled kick profile
- Blade dimensions: 600 mm length × 185 mm width for medium reach and agility
- 30° blade inclination for optimal biomechanical alignment and reduced muscular strain
- Variable side ribs and optimized channels to improve thrust and directional stability
- Interchangeable blade construction for easier maintenance and customization (soft/medium blade options)
- Designed for use without neoprene socks; pairs well with neoprene booties or the X-Wing Colored Foot Pocket for camouflage
