From Mares:
"Metal Foil Adds Snap to Fins
The Quattro Excel Metal LE fins are the first to use an elastic version of the Mares Optimized Pivoting Blade (OPB) system, guaranteeing ideal forward thrust at each stage of the kicking cycle. A whale-tail foot pocket design, crafted from two different materials, in conjunction with a newly developed Super Channel Thrust design, displaces more water with greater efficiency of energy than any other fin on the market. At the heart of the Quattro Excel is a metal foil, visible in a clear channel running the length of the fin. The foil is made from Techralene stainless steel, and provides added "snap" to the fin's action without creating stiffness. This metal technology is exclusive to the Limited Edition and is numbered from one to 4,000;Suggested retail price: $249"
