X-stream Comfort, X-ceptional Efficiency

New foot pocket. No parachute effect
       The limiting factors in traditional open heel foot pockets are their weight and the “parachute effect”. When finning, water gets into the space between the bootie and the foot pocket, creating drag like the air in a parachute. The perforations prevent this and have the additional benefit of making the foot pocket very soft and flexible. Furthermore, the suction effect which can make doffing of the fins cumbersome, is now forever a thing of the past.

Next generation OPB
      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. It is an exclusivity of Mares fins.

New blade construction for less turbulence
     Mares Design inspired by marine mammals. Channel thrust technology maximizes the channelling of water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins of the same size. The result is greater thrusting power with the same amount of effort.


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 fi n. More than 2 years of resources, experiments and testing and four Mares patents all concentrated in one unique product.

Nice fins that offer nice thrust and are highly visible under water, but I prefer split fins. I bought these when they were over half off at my LDS, so the price was right, but at retail they are hard to swallow.

Great fins. Comfortable on the feet and legs, easy to maneuver. However they are a bit on the pricey side and I personally prefer either split fins or jet / turtle fins.

The X-Stream is a great recreational fin. The vents and notches make the fin move flexibly through the water giving you the maximum amount of power for the least amount of work. The foot pockets are vented which allows the water to flow through reducing drag and it doesn't suction to your boot when you try to take it off. Overall a great quality fin and very easy and comfortable to use!

Awesome Fins!! The X-Stream Fins where recommended to me by the Rep at Dris. I was very impressed with the comfort and usability of these fins. I do recommend them to anyone who perfers better mobility in strong currents or just in calm waters. I experienced both conditions on my last dive and the fins performed well!

The X-Stream are the first pair of fins that I've purchased as I'm new to diving - so I can't compare to another set. However, I can certainly comment on their use.

Kicking with the Mares is very easy. They provide the proper amount of thrust to get you through a strong current, and don't tire out the legs. The foot pocket design is great as there is no water that gets stuck in your boot. Turning is also made easy with the flexibility of these fins. Yes, they are expensive maybe to other fins on the market - however their use is amazing in the water.

For 2012 Mares introduced a bungee fin strap, and I would highly recommend having these as an upgrade. They are on my fins and it makes taking on or off the fins a lot easier.
