LEG3ND ELITE BLACK + PRO HD MEN SET

This Aqua Lung set pairs the Leg3nd Elite Black Edition Pack with the wrap-around Pro HD jacket in the men’s cut, and adds the Combo 2K console. The pack is the blacked-out Leg3nd Elite with its matching Leg3nd Octopus, and the mechanism underneath is unchanged.

Under the black finish the mechanism is the standard Leg3nd Elite: both stages over-balanced, work of breathing 0.7 j/L, and a DIN 300 bar first stage of 747 g. It carries two 7/16 inch UNF high-pressure ports and four 3/8 inch UNF medium-pressure ports. Deep De-Ice ribs and a permanent dry chamber cover cold water, and cover opening channels cut cracking effort by 20 percent. The Pro HD is cut from ResisteK against abrasion and fading, integrates its lead through the patented SureLock II release, and sets cylinder height on a positioning strap. The Combo 2K console adds a 50 mm pressure gauge and an in-line depth gauge on one 80 cm hose, weighing 389 g.

The result is a primary second stage that throws no light back at a close subject, backed by an equal alternate, on a buoyancy compensator sized to the diver rather than to shop stock.

Sizing follows the Pro HD Men, XS to XL, roughly 100 g a step; the rest is one size. Cylinder, computer, weights and exposure protection are separate. At R40,788 the set saves R10,197.01 on the parts bought singly.
