TUSA FF-19 X-PERT 

Price: $56 Overall length: 23" Sizes: 6

Weight: .95 oz. Warranty: 3 years Website: tusa.com

 

The streamlined FF-19 X-Pert Evolution’s blade consists of thermoplastic ribs interspersed with soft rubber flanked by tapered side rails. The combination produces a nice mix of blade rigidity and flex. It was a test-diver favorite, with many of the testers commenting on how comfortable it felt, whether kicking easy or hard. Testers didn’t report any leg or ankle strain, and noted that the fin was fast, powerful and agile, plus very responsive using all kicking styles. It also earned the highest scores for foot-pocket comfort.

 

Bottom Line: The Testers’ Choice and Best Buy winner in the full-foot split-fin category, the X-Pert Evolution is an efficient fin that’s priced well.
