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.

| Blade Type ? Advances in design, materials and manufacturing techniques has allowed the development of various differenet types of fin blades which control the movement of water in different ways. More advanced blades, including split and hinged blades, can dramatically increase efficiency, helping to improve propulsion but also lower the amount of energy required to operate the fins.

| Fin Length (mm) ? The overall fin length of a medium sized fin Close. | 630 |
| Fin Weight (Pair kg) ? The overall weight of a pair of medium fins including buckles and straps Close. | 1.6 |
| Foot Type ? Fins are available in two fitting types, open heel and full foot pocket.Open Heel are typically used for scuba diving as they are able to provide better propulsion due to their increased strength and weight. Full Foot Pocket fins are usually worn by snorkellers who produce significantly less drag when moving through the water compared to a scuba diver. As a result the fins are generally smaller and much lighter. Close. | Open Heel |
| Quick Release Buckle ? Quick release buckles aid fitting and removal of the fins by allowing rapid fitting and release of the fin strap. Rather than having to loosen the fin strap off before pulling it over your heel to remove the fin, the quick release buckle allows you to disconnect the strap and slide your foot straight out.

| Strap Type ? A number of different fin strap styles can now by found on fins including the traditional adjustable rubber strap, metal spring straps and also bungee straps.Rubber straps can be easily adjusted to suit each individual diver and are typically fitted with quick release buckles. Spring and bungee straps are generally not adjustable and are sized to suit the fin size, however, they offer an extra level of comfort and flex better during the kick motion.

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
