You are perfectly right about the % Monster.
The new BREIER footpocket is still currently in a testing phase and not sell yet.
The new footpocket is indeed planned to be presented in BREDA.

Josh, you don't want the Imersion foot pocket. If you want to find similar feelings you had with Quattro go for the BEUCHAT foot pocket. From my experience, the hardness hard is the best option for large players.

BREIER products are far more resistant than other fiber fins (like Leader fins for example). But they are of course not as solid as plastic fins.

We are testing BREIER products since the end of 2006. In average the life time of the fins is around 10 months (more or less regarding the care you take of this product).
BUT you have to be extremely careful in manipulating the fins and you cannot walk on poolside with the fins and have to avoid jumping into the pool with the fins.
