Drawing for April 2008:
Set of Liquid Skin Mask & Quattro Excel Fins

 

Mares Scuba Diving Equipment Promotion

Liquidskin® technology joins the most popular mask in the world

• 45% Softer: Unparalleled Comfort
• 270% More Elastic: Highly Adaptable
• Increased Field of Vision
• New Ergo buckles assembled on skirt

With the addition of Mares patented Liquidskin® technology, the X-Vision now offers comfort that was formerly impossible. By co-molding two different types of silicone, there is no longer a need to compromise comfort in order to support the frame structure of a mask.

• The section that rests on the face is made with silicone that is 45% softer and 270% more elastic than what is typically used by other masks

• The support structure and the area of the seals are molded with a silicone that is 30% harder than the traditional material

• The extremely soft silicone portion rests on the face delivering a new level of comfort. The marks that are typically left on your face after a dive are mostly eliminated

• The superior elasticity and softness of Liquidskin® allows the mask to fit perfectly on a wider range of faces.
Liquidskin® adapts to facial movement and offers a great seal virtually eliminating water leakage

• Equalization is now much easier due to the super soft nose pocket. Its light weight and soft adherence to the face are so gentle that you can forget you're wearing it X-Vision Liquidskin® is the ideal mask for all kinds of diving, from snorkeling to freediving to scuba, both for recreational and professional divers

 

Quattro Excel Fins: Pure Power In All Diving Conditions

• Three Materials For Maximum Performance
• Super Channel thrust Technology
• Elastic OPB for Maximum Efficiency
• New ABS Plus Buckles

Mares has conducted numerous computer simulations in order to improve the performance of the Avanti Excel. Following numerous tests on new materials in the lab and then in the water, the Mares Quattro Excel was created. The Quattro Excel delivers the highest level of performance in all diving conditions.

• The Super Channel Thrust greatly increases the volume of water moving through the channel delivering greater thrust when compared to previous fins of similar size

• The elastic OPB system causes the blade to flex at an optimal angle during both the upward and downward strokes increasing the efficiency of the divers kick

• The anatomic foot pocket features interior ribs that improve fit, eliminate foot suction and prevent foot pocket flexing which transmits more power to the blade

• Additionally the "whale tail" section in the foot pocket allows for greater transmission of power, with improved sensitivity when kicking

• Three different materials are used in the construction in order to improve performance over previous Mares fins. The result is Pure Power in all diving conditions

• The straps feature ABS Plus (Adjustable Binding System) for one step quick and easy opening or closing
