Specs on National Geographic Fit Traveller Fins
- Fit Traveler fins are available in three sizes: Small (Men's shoe sizes 4 to 7; Ladies' 5 to 8,) Medium (Men's 7 to 10; Ladies' 8 to 11) and Large (Men's 10 to 13; Ladies' 11+.) With a length of 15 inches, the Fit Traveller fins are comparatively compact and fit easily into a suitcase or storage space.
- The Fit Traveller fin blades are designed with a composite of materials that encourage "flex and snap" to help snorkelers move efficiently. All models have replaceable fin straps with RQL (Ratchet Quick Lock) systems on the open heel design and will accommodate wider feet. These fins can be used with or without swim socks or other foot protection. They are available in three colors: yellow, blue or black.
- Fins with an open heel or strap were once known as "cold water fins" because insulating boots or shoes could be worn as an extra layer while wearing these fins. Unfortunately, wearing cold water fins while barefoot could be painful due to rubbing against the unforgiving plastic straps.
Today, open heel fins are made with more flexible materials that make them a versatile choice for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, especially those with wider feet, higher arches or feet that are still growing.
