Carbon/fiberglass blades durability

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I have used Cressi 2000hfs and Specialfins Kelpie medium fiberglass blades for years each, beat heck out of both. My kind of diving is rough on gear. The Cressis are indestructable. The Specialfins blades are seriously scratched up, fiberglass is not damaged, but the rubber rim finally gave out.
 
I had a pair of PURE carbon fins that snapped two weeks after I bought them. Next, I switched to C4's and they've lasted me a decade. It really depends upon the manufacturer. I've used mine for scuba diving inside wrecks without issue.
Hello sir, may I ask what brand was the Pure Carbons that you had that snapped? Just want to know what to avoid coz Im planning to upgrade to CF from my existing fiberglass fins
