The Scubapro MK2 EVO/S270 regulator system emerges as an exemplary choice for recreational divers looking to elevate their underwater experience by transitioning from entry-level gear to something more advanced, without breaking the bank. This regulator combination marries affordability with high-end performance, offering features that cater to divers seeking both durability and ease of breathing under varying diving conditions, particularly in cold water.
The MK2 EVO/S270 pairs the reliable MK2 EVO first stage with the advanced S270 second stage, creating a system designed for optimal performance across a wide range of diving scenarios. Here are some of the standout features and benefits of this regulator system:
-
S270 Second Stage: Featuring an air-balanced valve design, the S270's mechanism is housed within a compact casing. This design is engineered to reduce breathing resistance, making each breath underwater smooth and effortless. The internal aerodynamics are fine-tuned to provide exceptional breathing performance that seasoned divers will appreciate.
-
Durability and Comfort: The S270's casing is constructed from a combination of fiberglass-reinforced nylon core and a special polyurethane (PU) outer layer. This not only ensures the regulator's durability but also contributes to reducing jaw fatigue, enhancing comfort during extended dives.
-
Cold Water Performance: The technopolymer barrel of the S270, complemented by a metal thread and balanced valve, is designed to withstand extreme cold water conditions. This material choice prevents ice crystals from adhering to the surface, thereby enhancing the regulator's performance and reliability in freezing temperatures.
-
Effortless Breathing: The air-balanced valve of the S270 second stage smooths out the inhalation effort across different depths and supply pressures, ensuring consistent and comfortable air delivery throughout the dive.
-
User-Friendly Features: With a dive/predive switch that is easily operable even when wearing thick gloves, divers can adjust their breathing effort on the fly, adding a layer of convenience and control over the diving experience.
-
MK2 EVO First Stage: Renowned for its classic downstream piston design, the MK2 EVO features a chrome-plated brass body equipped with one high-pressure and four low-pressure ports, offering divers a reliable and straightforward setup for connecting their diving accessories.
-
Enhanced Cold-Water Resistance: The patented XTIS (Extended Thermal Insulating System) significantly improves the MK2 EVO's resistance to cold water. By insulating the internal mechanism from the external environment, the system effectively delays ice formation in extreme conditions, ensuring the regulator maintains optimal breathing performance without compromise.
-
Optimized Airflow: Housing an oversized piston, the MK2 EVO's marine-grade brass body ensures better breathing performance by increasing airflow, making every breath underwater as comfortable as it is on land.
The MK2 EVO/S270 regulator system stands out as a balanced blend of Scubapro's engineering excellence, offering recreational divers a reliable, high-performance solution for their underwater adventures. Its focus on minimizing breathing effort, alongside its cold-water capabilities and durable construction, makes it a prime choice for divers looking to upgrade their equipment with a system that will serve them well across a variety of diving conditions.
