GARA MODULAR LD FIN
Description:
Cressi was the first manufacturer to use the thermoplastic rubber-blade footpocket composition and the first to thermofuse in a single element three materials to improve the transmission of effort. The need to have a detachable version to install blades of different materials or carbon culminates in the new Gara Modular, which benefits from Cressi's experience in compositions of different materials and performance.
The volume of the foot pocket has been resized after in-depth anatomical studies, so that the volumes are proportional to the widening effect caused by the foot pocket depending on the size of the foot, not following a fixed size-to-size ratio, since proportionally a small foot "puts on weight" much more than a large one when putting on booties.
The new foot pocket combines two materials, a thermoplastic rubber of high hardness (shore 90), flexible but inelastic and very resistant, applied to the ribs, the entire sole of the foot pocket and the exclusive support band on the instep to ensure immediate transmission of effort without dissipating in rubbery compositions.
The instep incorporates a 2 cm wide "Self adjusting" band in its center, which allows a slight expansion (2 to 4 mm depending on size) to adapt to people with high insteps or in case of using thick booties. The expansion has been carefully calibrated so as not to impair the transmission of energy.
The rest of the foot pocket (grey area) maintains a flexible 50° shore composition for optimum comfort. This material is alternately extended in the heel area to provide an anti-slip function when walking on a boat or on rocks.
The original blade is made of high modulus polypropylene (2500Mpa). Guaranteed for life, with high elastic return. It incorporates two small anti-skid flaps. In the end zone. The section of decreasing thickness (from 4mm to 2mm) makes the arching is very progressive, eliminating the tendency to skid, since the first half of the set is more rigid and the final half is more flexible.
