Mares X-Wing Skindiving and Freediving Fin Review
For the more seasoned freedivers and even professionals, the Mares X-Wing Carbon has one of the most responsive blades on the market.
With an incredibly snug foot pocket that’s excellent for a small, high kick frequency. This particular product has the widest blade of the Mares X-Wing family at 20cm, making it particularly powerful for experienced and athletic individuals.
A removable blade is so nice for traveling too.
Upon being lucky enough to try this exquisite pair of freediving fins, we are confident that ‘you get what you pay for’ with the Mares X-Wing Carbon. The benefits of wearing such a high-quality product are experienced right from the get-go; you will find the elastic heel tab on the back of the foot pocket makes life easy when donning the fins and we even took off the interchangeable blade to walk around our boat with ease, taking only two minutes to re-attach.
Things we like:
- Extremely high-quality carbon fiberglass blade for power and durability
- Blade stiffness options accessible for people with different weights
- You don’t need extra neoprene socks for this foot pocket
- Side ribs added to channel water flow and enhance trajectory
- Removable blade makes these easy to pack for travel and repair
Things we don't like:
- The quality of this blade comes at a steep price

Why buy from Amazon?
Amazon has a documented Prime delivery program that covers millions of items, and that is the most concrete order-related support behind buying here.
Worth knowing
Some customers report slower replies or needing more follow-up than expected when they asked for help after ordering. If an order needs post-purchase support, that part of the experience is not always smooth.
Some customers also report delivery problems after ordering. That keeps follow-up and delivery as the areas to watch if you place the order here.
