The Ultimate Carbon blades produce an outstanding performance during deep dives, due to the side water rails. These elastic spoilers operate as guides, creating a water channel that prevents the fins to drift on the sides and save divers precious energy.

The Pathos Ultimate Carbon blades are made of 285-T4 and 285-T2 pure Carbon Fiber. These fabrics are proven to be the optimal choice for the Pathos Carbon Blades, due to the combination of high resistance and instant reaction they offer. The selected carbon fibers, combined with the best quality epoxy resin, provide stiffness, reliability and longevity. The 285-T4 4X4 carbon weaving style eliminates wrinkling, cracking and distortion of the blade and ensures complete resin soaking, while the inner 285-T2 2X2 weaving insures rapid recall.

Each pair is processed thermally for 36 hours and cures at 8 tons pressure for 24 hours. This process gives the Ultimate Carbon Blades a gloss finish, that minimizes water friction and offers a more reactive performance. The manufacturing process minimizes carbon fabric and epoxy resin disposal.

Having tested several different shapes of fins edges, for hundreds of hours, Pathos came to the conclusion that the Ultimate flap-shaped edge, not only exceeds the divers effort, but also adds an extra push at the end of the leg movement. This element allows the diver to use less power, compared to previous concave shaped models.

The Pathos Ultimate Carbon blades divert the energy created by the divers movement, all along their length. This is accomplished due to the carbon fabrics inner arrangement. The special inner design gives the blades the ability to take under pressure a double curved S-shape that provides the best flexibility, efficiency and functionality.

The best fins performance is achieved by increasing the blades angle and this requires a well-trained diver who constantly exercises and keeps up his/her fitness. The 28 angle comforts every experienced diver who remains fit and brings about the best results. The Ultimate blades combined with Pathis footpocket produce more dynamic results.
