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

From the guys at XXone - Anax weight with Pathos foot pocket is 750 gr about.
The dimensions are 75cmX19,5cm the blade.
From the guys at Trygons -
[FONT='times new roman', times]III) Long Blade ( 76cm , 174 gr )
[/FONT][FONT='times new roman', times]-The full w[/FONT][FONT='times new roman', times]eight of one complete fin is 582gr/1.28lb ( 390 gr foot pocket + 159 gr carbon blade + 33 gr water rails ).[/FONT] [FONT='times new roman', times]*) Measurements are based on Medium Stiffness / Medium Blade Length fitted on Pathos foot pocket No 42-44.
Thats almost 200g! 200grams on one of the lightest fins on the market! Dude anything less and youd need to add weights!
