Imersion Neoprene protection for apnea fins

Introduction

I needed something thin to protect my fins from scatches and impacts when I travelling. I usually put my fins in my SporTube but even there they can get banged up by other gear. I set out looking for something light, thin and with some padding. I could only find:

  • Proper fin bags: too big for my needs but they have padding at least
  • Thin plastic fin sleeves: thin but they have no padding
  • The Imersion Neoprene Protection bag: seems to have it all, so I got this.

Build

It is build from black, lined, 3mm "ultra-soft" neoprene. It stands up to the description quite well in real life. It is 90cm x 25cm and my Breier 760B SG Fins fin perfectly inside:



The neoprene is very soft and stretchy as advertised. It has a handle build in, this is handy not not essential. What is nice is that it is carved into the sleeve so it does not ad extra bulk:


The back part has Velcro to hold it closed:


 

Conclusion

This is a nice and inexpensive product, it does a good job protecting my fins from dents while inside my SporTube, I recommend it if you have the same needs.
