XXone Anax Fins

Ive tried a pair of medium 25degrees and no doubt they are nice fins. But I gotta say Trygons - High Tech Freediving Equipment have them beat hands down! :martial

Check out their website it has some interesting information. But to answer your questions - Firstly they are almost 200grams lighter! ( Thats the lightest in the market I think )

Secondly Ive never seen carbon fiber weaved this way, all the other fins in comparison look like they use a straight weave allowing the same amount of flexing along the whole length of the blade. With the Trygons fin, the weave changes as it progresses along the fin, which I assume allows for a more refined fin blade motion in the water. And they dont have that cheap looking layer on the fin that XXones have that make it look like an inferior carbon was used and the layer is there to protect it.

Now dont get me wrong, they are both excellent fins. The best Ive seen,and with my meager knowledge I cannot feel the difference in the fins, except maybe that the Trygons fins feel more ' not there ' on my feet.

The Trygons fins are smaller than the XXones though, and you have to get the 'long' pair of trygons to get the same length.

Finally 25degrees is the angle on the Trygons. It felt very natural on my feet. I think with 15 degrees I would loose a lot of efficiency.

It looks like the Greeks are topping the market in fiber fins. Whichever you choose Im sure you wont be disappointed.

Good luck
