The 'Folding Fins' are a compact, travel-friendly accessory for avid divers and snorkelers alike that will provide them with a way to easily partake in the aquatic pastime without having to track down gear.
The fins are poised as being 50% lighter than technical alternatives on the market, while also featuring a reinforced membrane and the ability to be adjusted to a number of different shoe sizes. The fins are also designed to be three-times smaller than existing options on the market when folded, while still maintaining an ergonomic fit when in use.
The 'Folding Fins' highlight a biomimetic design that is inspired by nature and will provide a truly intuitive experience in the water to help divers swim with much more agility.
