DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Pair of Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins with Spring Heel Straps

VROOM! Speed, Comfort, and Maneuverability; you can have it all with the Vortex V-16. The V-16 combines the Patented Design Concepts divers have come to expect from Oceanic with a new mix of materials that enhance performance and style. Compared to conventional fins, the V-16 is up to 30% Faster and more Efficient, with Less Effort, Stress and Strain resulting in Greater Comfort and Control.

The Oceanic Vortex V16 Split Open Heel Fins are a Precision Blend of Hydrodynamics and Materials Technology for Ultimate Comfort, Efficiency and Performance. Fins are manufactured from a Composite Material consisting of a Blend of Thermal Plastic Rubber (TPR) and Polypropylene. The technological edge is achieved with the Patented Nature's Wing Technology by Splitting the Blade to Generate Highly Efficient Thrust or Lift like an Airplane Wing, while reducing the Strain on the Muscles of the Leg and Hips by allowing the water to drain between the Dual Blades. With the Vortex V-16, Oceanic's design team has worked long and hard to create just the right combination of fin size, shape, and angle.

The Oversized Rails add Rigidity to the Oversized Blade for Increased Lift and Efficiency. Semi-Rigid Battens and Rubber Flex Channels within the Blade Precisely Control the Shape of the Blade during the Fin Stroke to Optimize Power and Reduce Drag. The Ergonomically Designed Foot Pocket accommodates virtually all foot sizes and boot styles and the Angled Blade provide the Preferred Angle of Attack. Donning and Doffing is made easy with the Spring Heel Straps with Large Pull-Tab Thumb Loops in Straps for Grip. The Pull-Tab Thumb Loops also allow a convenient manner to hang your fins when drying and for storage. The Vortex V-16 Fin weigh 4.7 to 5.7 lbs (2.13 to 2.59 kg) depending on the size, are available in 4 sizes of X-Small, Small, Medium or X-Large, comes in 6 color choices of Blue/Black, Black, Pink, Yellow/Black, Red/Black or Ice Blue/Black and is covered by a 12 month limited warranty.

DIVE PINK & FIGHT BREST CANCER! For every Pink Fins $20 will be donated to fight breast cancer.

      Comments about Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins with Spring Heel Straps:

      These are great fins for scuba. They move wonderfully through the water, and it feels like they practically do the kicking for me. Comparable to the Atomic brand split fins, these work great, don't make my feet extra buoyant, and feel great on my feet. Plus the spring straps make getting them on for a shore swim easy!

        Awesome fins. Very comfortable and extremely effective in the water especially for diving. These are a great affordable alternative compared to the Atomic Acquatic Split Fins.

          Comments about Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins with Spring Heel Straps:

          i feel that this product compares to the Aeris split fin model that they discontinued. It's equally lightweight and overall nice to wear and use. I highly recommend this product and leisurepro for selling it.

          Comments about Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins with Spring Heel Straps:

          Foot pockets are a little heavy compared to my full foot fins and a little wide for my foot but worked great with a pair of hard soled booties. I wear a 7 1/2 shoe and purchased an XS in this fin.
          No leg cramps with these and they propel you thru the water with little effort. Easy on/off with spring straps. Love them!

          Comments about Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins with Spring Heel Straps:

          The fins work great and preform well but they should probably focus on their quality control a little more. They look like someone was draging a razorblade throught the rubber and over the plastic.
