X Stream Fin
£119.00 RRP £155.00 In Stock
Please note: This item cannot be shipped outside the European Union - learn moreThe 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 Red Dot product design award illustrating that it is a truly excellent product.
Length : 630mm

Love the design of the fins and the ease of getting them on and off with the bungee.
Also lighter than my other fins so good for traveling.

The fin in the water is great, however after diving with it for 20 dives, on my 21st dive the material on both fins split. They have been looked after very well and I’m highly disappointed that the join between the soft silicone in the scoop section easily tears away from the harder silicone ridges. Would no longer recommend this fin to my students at all. I’ve heard from several other people this happening also.
Great product
I bought a pair after seeing my Instructor with them. She has had her pair for years and dived all over the world with them. She loves them. the hinge on the sides also makes a handy carrying handle. I am an Assistant Instructor and can say they are
