If you are looking to set yourself up with a single cylinder configuration wing, harness, backplate and regulator system, perhaps to streamline your travel kit or move towards a more technical setup, then you can't go wrong with this Finnsub Ultralite 13 and Apeks MTX-RC package.
The Finnsub Donut wings are well-balanced for optimum trim, and the ULTRALITE 13 is no exception. This compact set, which is perfect for travelling, is composed of a double shell wing with tank bands and an ultralight harness. It is the lightest wing set on the market at just 2.4kg, even with the solid metal components and stainless steel D-rings.
The adjustable webbing harness allows for quick fit alterations and ease in donning and doffing; the aluminium BONE backplate comes with a comfortable back pad; the wing material 'Cordura 1000' is extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear.
The Apeks MTX-RC Single Cylinder Regulator Set is designed to be used in a long hose style single cylinder equipment configuration and is useful in situations where the large gas volumes of a twin cylinder configuration are not required.
The MTX-RC is a high performance fully balanced regulator system much like the majority of the Apeks range. It was developed for extreme cold conditions and with technical / advanced diving in mind, but any diver can benefit from its durability, reliability and performance.
The regulator set includes:
- 2 x MTX-RC Primary second stages
- 1 xMTX-RC first stage
- 1 x 2.1m Hose
- 1 x 61cm Hose
- 1 x HP hose and TEK SPG
