Info on the Mares X Stream Fin

The X-Stream fin from Mares is a brand new, adjustable, open footed scuba fin which is lightweight and comfortable with a new foot pocket and new blade construction for less turbulence in the water. The X-Stream is designed to provide a greater thrust throughout the water but with less effort and this is achieved by allowing the blade to maintain an optimal angle throughout the kicking cycle along with a channel thrust which, inspired by marine mammals, allows for great channeling of water compared to other fins of the same size.
 
The X Stream won the prestigious 2010 Red Dot product design award illustrating that it is a truly excellent product.

Features

  • Riddled foot pockets prevent water from entering the space between the bootie and the foot pocket which would normally create a parachute type drag. The perforations also make the foot pocket soft and flexible and means there is no longer a suction which can make doffing cumbersome.
  • OPB or optimized pivoting blade allows the blade to maintain an optimal angle throughout your kicking cycle. This provides a constant thrust which keeps fatigue to a minimum and provides fluid movement through the water.
  • Superchannel. The blade has been designed with a large, flexible central superchannel which propells water more efficiently down the fin blade instead of letting it spill over the sides for optimal performance and minimal diver effort.
  • Channel thrust is inspired by marine mammals and this new technology maximizes the channeling of water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins. This results in greater thrusting power but with the same amount of effort.
  • ABS plus buckles allows quick opening and closing of the buckle even when wearing thick neoprene gloves. The double button release prevents the buckle from accidentally opening making it really user friendly.
  • Open foot pocket provides maximum power and evenly distributes pressure over the foot to minimize tiredness. Internal ribbing inside the foot pocket improves fit and prevents foot suction and flexing of the foot pocket whilst transmitting great power to the blade.
  • Tri Material construction provides superior performance, maximum elasticity, great durability and a resistance to aging.

I have always been a mares fin user

I have always been a mares fin user, I brought some quatros 10 years ago and they are still going strong, its a shame these X-stream i cant say the same about. I brought a pair 18 months ago, used 90% of the time in pool I am a PADI instructor (in uk) so I was in the water at least once a week, they were fine until a resent trip to Bali where over 4 dives in moderate current a tear started between the coloured hard plastic and the middle softer channel plastic. Within another 4 dives the small tear was 5 inches long and a second tear had started on the other fin. Its a real shame because I really liked these fins but be aware once a tear starts it will get worse really quickly, I even tried some 2 part contact adhesive which only slowed the tearing action. So for now its break out the old Quatros again till I find something else.

Great fins

Great fins, delivery service great. The one thing that lets the fins down is the ABS+ buckles, both plastic spring arms on the strap adjustment catches on one of the fins broke the first time I tried to release them. Simply scuba immediately sent me a replacement strap but I think Mares should redesign these to match the quality of the rest of the fin.
