Hi,
I bought these fins from a local authorized dealer. Since I got them one of the posts for the bungees started to degrade, leading to the attachment part coming undone by itself a few times.
Also, the surface of the bungees has become really sticky in some parts. Sand and dirt sticks to it and it feels greasy to the touch.
All post seem to be damaged now, one more than the others and that lead to almost losing a fin on a dive with lots of current. Also the bungee came undone on a couple back roll entries.
I never unclip the bungees, I just put them back on when they become undone. I also know how to put them on correctly, so it's not user error.
Seems to me like the plastic compound of the posts is too soft.
I brought this to the attention of the local dealer where I bought them, while under warranty, and they agreed it was not normal.
They contacted the distributor but they have no response, and they say they can't do anything about it.
Here are a few pictures, hope someone from Mares can help me out. Except for that I love the fins.
Thanks
