Freediving Fins X-Wing C-S Soft Black-Green EU 44-45-UK 10-10,5-USA 10-11 Mares 420422SFT044

Freediving Fins X-Wing C-S Soft Black-Green EU 44-45-UK 10–10.5-USA 10–11 Mares 420422SFT044

Description:

The Mares X-Wing C-S Soft freediving fins are purpose-built for freedivers and spearfishers who demand agility, efficiency and precise control in the water. The blade is constructed from 11 layers of 100% pre-impregnated carbon, with 3k woven fibers oriented at 0° and 90° and variable thicknesses pressed in a mold to deliver reactive, durable performance and parabolic flex. A 30° blade inclination makes the fin feel like a natural extension of the tibia, improving power transfer and reducing ankle strain. At a medium length (600 mm) and a relatively narrow 185 mm blade width, these fins offer fast response and optimized thrust for tight maneuvering and variable kick frequencies. Built-in side ribs and optimized channels increase thrust and reduce energy loss, while the soft blade option reduces fatigue for lighter divers or those preferring a more forgiving flex. The foot pocket is designed for comfortable wear even without neoprene socks, and the blade is interchangeable to allow future upgrades or replacements. Pair with the X-Wing Colored Foot Pocket (olive green) for camouflage when spearfishing.

Key Features:

• Blade made from 11 layers of 100% pre-impregnated carbon for high responsiveness and durability
• 3k woven carbon fibers at 0°/90° with fiber crossovers to enhance blade reactivity
• Variable blade thickness and parabolic flex for smooth, progressive power delivery
• Medium-length blade (600 mm) and compact profile suited to agile freediving and spearfishing
• 30° blade inclination for efficient biomechanical alignment and improved power transfer
• Variable side ribs and optimized thrust channels to boost propulsion and reduce energy loss
• Interchangeable blade construction for easy maintenance or blade swaps
• Designed to be worn without neoprene socks; compatible with neoprene booties and X-Wing foot pockets
• Soft blade stiffness (this model) reduces leg fatigue for lighter or endurance-focused divers

Recommended Use:

Ideal for advanced recreational and professional freedivers and spearfishers who require nimble, efficient propulsion and precise control in confined or complex environments. Best suited for coastal freediving, spearfishing, reef work and environments where agility and quick directional changes matter more than maximum long-blast thrust. Performs well in calm to moderately variable conditions; soft blade reduces fatigue during longer sessions. Recommended pairing: neoprene socks or X-Wing Colored Foot Pocket for improved fit and camouflage, and regular blade inspections given the high-performance carbon construction.
