C4 Umberto Pelizzari

The C4 Umberto Pelizzari win the Best Choice 2024, after having won the 2023 edition, in the polymer blade fins category
Top quality materials and differentiated thickness for the C4 Umberto Pelizzari

The C4 Umberto Pelizzari have moved the price slightly up after the launch, as they have gained notoriety and appreciation by spearos and freedivers (indicatively 100€ versus 110€ now). These fins by C4 Carbon confirm their leadership for great use in the pool for Dyn and at sea, for dives which are really excellent in the first 20 meters, but are still very good down to 30 meters. The C4 250 foot pocket is a great solution, very light, snug fitting, with the availability of sizes from 36 to 47.

Mares X-Wing

The Mares X-Wing confirm an amazing second position in the Best Choice 2024 by Apneapassion, and today are even more affordable
Mares X-Wing fins

With the slight price increase of the C4 Umberto Pelizzari, and the really excellent Mares X-Wing now more affordable and in line with the C4, these two products are practically at the same level. Just a slight advantage for the C4 having the rubber water rails co-printed on the blade. This is definitely a higher level and cost solution, even though performance wise the two models, C4 Umberto Pelizzari and Mares X-Wing, can be considered aligned. The choice must be done personally and attentively considering the fit that the foot pockets of the two brands give to our feet.
