Mares X-Stream Diving Fins

X-STREAM.

X-stream Comfort, X-ceptional Efficiency.

The X-stream: performance, comfort and lightweight design are the incredible result of sixty passionate years at the service of diving. The X-stream is truly a leap into the future, and changes forever how we envision the creation of a fin. More than 2 years of resources, experiments and testing and four Mares patents all concentrated in one unique product.


Features:

- RIDDLED FOOT POCKET: The perforations prevent stagnating water flow from slowing you down. Eliminating this “parachute effect” you’ll slide faster through the water. Furthermore the openings eliminate any suction effect, making doffing easier.

- OPB (Optimized Pivoting Blade): Allows the blade to maintain an optimal angle throughout the kicking cycle, whereas traditional fins achieve this only during a small portion of the cycle. OPB produces a constant thrust, which minimizes fatigue and produces fluid movement through the water.

- CHANNEL THRUST: Soft longitudinal inserts allow a controlled deformation of the fin blade while kicking. This channel shape moves a greater amount of water resulting in more thrust for the same effort.

- TRI-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION: 3 specific materials for maximum elasticity, high durability and resistance to aging. The result is superior performance in all diving conditions.


Within a short period of time, this fin has broken every record and won every award. We are talking about the open heel fin X-Stream. So it´s about time we honor the top seller among the fins with some additional colors and an additional size.

Four patents set new standards! An intriguing look! An incredible sporty design and an entirely different foot pocket immediately lead to goosebumps. And once you pick the fin up the surprise is complete. Because the X-Stream´s super low weight will blow your mind. That´s about the effect at first contact. And when you´ll dive with it you´ll be completely convinced.

The X-Stream has also convinced the committee at the ´´red dot design award´´ and hundreds of thousands of satisfied divers around the world. ´´You forget that you are wearing a fin,´´ is the most common answer to the question why this fin is so popular. Here, comfortable fit and outstanding performance criteria go hand in hand: the newly designed foot pocket with its striking perforations (they eliminate the so-called parachute effect) and the hinges at the connection to the blade for absorbing kinetic energy do an excellent job in the service of the user. The blade with its extremely wide center rib makes for a powerful channeling effect based on the superchannel principle.

The lightness of being: all of these advantages make the X-Stream also the ideal fin for children and adolescents. So, it is only logical to broaden the spectrum of sizes by size XS. Head-turner: The X-Stream now comes in the 2013 fashion colors pink and white, so that it matches the new mask (X-VU) and snorkel (Ergo Dry) colors perfectly. But if you would prefer the X-Stream in solid black – be our guest! We will fulfill this wish in 2013 as well.
