I’m thoroughly impressed with the Mares Pen Flag. It’s easy to assemble, and the material is of high quality. Can someone tell me if it’s safe for use in saltwater?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your wonderful review of our Mares Pen Flag! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re impressed with its assembly and quality. For your question, our flag is designed for moderate winds and is resistant to most sea conditions. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to saltwater to ensure the longevity of the flag’s material. Additionally, we recommend washing the flag with fresh water and mild soap after exposure to saltwater. This will help maintain its vibrant colors and extend its lifespan.

I’ve been using this Mares Pen Flag Small with base for my diving expeditions, and it’s really helped me mark my entry and exit points. The flag is sturdy and durable, and the base keeps it firmly in place even in strong currents. I’m really impressed with its quality and value for money. The only thing I’d like to see improved is the material used for the flag itself, which can be prone to fraying after repeated use.

How does this Mares Pen Flag Small with base compare to the larger version in terms of visibility and durability?

Thank you for your question, Leanne. Our smaller Mares Pen Flag (1.8m) with base is designed to be just as visible as its larger counterpart, albeit with a smaller overall size. The base is weighted to keep the flag stable in windy conditions, ensuring the design remains clear and easy to spot. Durability-wise, the smaller flag is crafted with the same high-quality materials as the larger version, with weather-resistant fabrics designed to withstand various environmental conditions. However, we can’t rule out minor variations in performance due to the reduced size. If you have any further questions or would like more details, please don’t hesitate to ask.
