DESCRIPTION
Using the patented split fin technology, the Talaria deliver more forward-going thrust than a conventional fin in terms of power to thrust ratio. This means less drag and energy expended for the same swimming speed. Like a pair of underwater wings, Talaria gives the diver unrivalled freedom of movement underwater, especially when turning or changing direction.

The fin is made from a specially formulated thermal plastic rubber, which is then fine-tuned to give an excellent balance between flexibility and rigidity. Fins have a roomy foot pocket which can easily accommodate dry suit boots. Fin is equipped with corrosion and impact resistant plastic quick-release buckles and a wide split strap design for a sure grip to the back of your foot.

      These fins were my second pair, same brand and style. My old ones lived about 6 years, with many dives. Well worth the money

        Comments about IST F-2 Talaria Open Heel Split Fins, Black:

        This was my first fin purchase and I am very pleased. They look and feel like they would be cumbersome and heavy when you first handle them but once they are in the water you literally glide effortlessly and gracefully through the water. I am a tall woman with large feet so the fit is very nice with my soft soled fin socks. I'm feeling more like a fish every day! Thanks!

          These fins are an amazing value, was in the keys and my DM who was wearing $220 Apollos commented on my speed and said he was having a hard time keeping up!
          The foot pocket is very large and does not fit well with my soft soled boots, however they fit perfect with my Sea Soft Stealth's which the Apollo's did not! Overall an Amazing fin at this price!! I wish they IST offered them with SS spring straps.

            Comments about IST F-2 Talaria Open Heel Split Fins, Black:

            Haven't been in the Open Water with these yet but they kicked (no pun intended) as s in our confined water dives. They were comfortable and as good as the Vortex V12's I tried for all my flailing in the water at half the price.

            We bought 3 pairs and one flipper had a quick release that kept popping out when tightening the heel straps.
