Aqualung Leg3nd Elite Black Edition Dive Regulator
The Leg3nd Elite Black Edition Dive Regulator is a cutting-edge regulator that empowers divers with unparalleled precision and customizability, allowing you to fine-tune your breathing preferences with independent micro-adjustments. Say goodbye to compromises and hello to perfect precision tailored to your unique diving style.
Protection and Reliability
When it comes to protecting your equipment, the Leg3nd Elite Black Edition has you covered. The Auto Closure Device (ACD) ensures that the first stage remains shut when not connected to a cylinder valve, safeguarding the internal parts from contamination and corrosive water. This feature preserves internal lubrication and keeps the inlet filter clean and dry, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
But that's not all – this regulator goes above and beyond in cold-water diving conditions. The integrated dry chamber of the LEG3ND Elite keeps inner components clean and dry by isolating them from the outside environment. Deep ribs create a large heat exchange surface area, preventing ice formation on the mechanism. The overmolded cap further delays ice formation over the external diaphragm, ensuring exceptional cold-water performance.
Ergonomics and Comfort
Aqualung understands the importance of comfort during your diving adventures. That's why the Leg3nd Elite Black Edition is designed with ergonomics in mind. The DIN and YOKE screws are shaped for a better hold, even with cold hands, thanks to the bi-material "Soft Grip" surface. The channeled YOKE screw prevents water retention, ensuring hassle-free equipment installation and removal.
Jaw fatigue is a thing of the past with the patented Comfobite mouthpiece. This innovative design not only reduces strain on your jaw but also provides a secure and comfortable fit for the second stage. The mouthpiece clamp is detachable and reusable, allowing for quick and tool-free mouthpiece changes without contributing to plastic waste.
Innovative Features for Optimal Performance
The Leg3nd Elite Black Edition Dive Regulator is packed with features that enhance your diving experience. Let's explore some of the key highlights:
First Stage Features
- Auto-Balanced (Over-Balanced) Design: The first stage automatically adjusts the working pressure to counteract the increased breathing air density at different depths, ensuring optimum breathing efforts.
- Specialized ACD Dust Cap: The regulator body is equipped with a specialized ACD dust cap, providing added protection to the inlet fitting and the ACD system against impacts or damage.
- Optimal Hose Routing: The Leg3nd Elite boasts perfectly positioned high-pressure (HP) and medium-pressure (MP) ports, enabling optimal hose routing for maximum flexibility and convenience.
Second Stage Features
- New Front Cover Opening Channels: Water flows sideways over the diaphragm through these channels, preventing freeflows when diving in stronger currents and reducing peak inspiratory flow by an impressive 20%.
- Overmolded Exhaust Cover: The elastomer exhaust cover with a "soft touch" effect ensures durability and ease of use, making regulator purging easier than ever.
- Purge Depth Controller: This feature optimizes air flow with minimal effort, allowing for effortless purging and reducing the chance of air entrapment.
- Enlarged Heat Exchanger: The heat exchanger plays a crucial role in preventing freezing of the second stage mechanism, ensuring reliable performance even in cold-water conditions.
- Air Channel Deflector: The air flow is directed evenly during the inhalation phase, thanks to the streamlined bi-material deflector. This design also lowers the exhalation effort, contributing to a smooth and comfortable breathing experience.
- Flexible Aqua Flex Hose: The Leg3nd Elite comes with a lightweight and flexible Aqua Flex hose, featuring dual protectors for added durability and ease of movement.
