Leaderfins Stereofins Carbon

[Dobs]

Hi guys and gals,

I searched the forums thoroughly and couldn't find any first-hand info on the Leaderfins Stereofins Carbon (LeaderFins.com)

Any info on these blades will be greatly appreciated. Anyone tried them? What is the performance and the quality compared to let's say C4? Would they be a significant improvement from my current fiberglass fins (Waterway Captain Nemo)?
Thanks!

Almost a week and no replies... I guess I'll be the first one in the world to test them and give some feedback
I ordered the blades already.

What footpocket will you be putting them in?

I'll be using the new Pathos Fireblade pocket.
IMHO this is the best footpocket on the market today. Very light and yet very strong. The pair of footpockets weighs as much as one of my old OMER footpockets.

I'll have to look into the Pathos pockets. Thanks for the bit of info.

Unfortunately the English version of the Pathos website is under construction and the only available info on the footpocket is these sketces:
PathosSub.com

The true footpockets look like this: SpearFish DiveStore

Thank you for the link !
Do you know how does Patos footpockets width compares to equally sized OMER or Sporasub footpockets (I find both, OMER nad Sporasub way too wide for my feet) ?

I bought Pathos pockets here- Pathos - Πέλμα Fireblade για Πτερύγια --- diveshop.gr
They are very light and comfortable with good power transfer. They are wide just behind the toes but not too wide around the heels. I find Omer pockets to be loose around the heels.
With Pathos pockets they must be glued to the blades with cyanoacrylic so once the blades are in you can't change them.

Sounds perfect ! Thanks Sunfish.

Guys, just to keep you posted.
I got the blades from the mailman today and will try to mount them in the pockets tonight after work. Hopefully first tests will take place on Saturday
So far the first impression of the blades is really good. They look well-finished and are a little bit lighter than the Waterway's.
