26XR-HR Regulator by Mares
Mares 26XR-HR Regulator: The Ultimate Tech Diving Powerhouse!
The Mares 26XR-HR is a premier regulator system, combining the versatile, high-performance 26XR first stage with the lightweight and adjustable HR second stage. This is the ultimate setup for the demanding technical diver, packed with Mares' most advanced technologies for unmatched reliability, effortless breathing, and perfect adaptability for backmount, sidemount, or stage configurations, especially in extreme cold water.
A First Stage Sealed for Any Environment
The 26XR first stage is engineered for absolute dependability when conditions get tough.
- Auto Sealing Technology (AST): The moment you unscrew the regulator from the tank, the AST automatically seals the inlet, keeping water and contaminants out. This patented system ensures your reg's internal mechanism stays pristine and ready for action.
- TBP Dry Kit: For ultimate cold-water performance, the first stage is environmentally sealed using Mares' TBP Dry Kit, providing exceptional protection against freezing and ensuring consistent performance in the most frigid environments.
Unrestricted Airflow and Perfect Routing
Every aspect of the 26XR is optimized for technical diving.
- Natural DFC on ALL LP Ports: Mares' Natural Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) minimizes intermediate pressure drop on all five low-pressure ports. This ensures stable, high gas flow to your second stages and inflator, regardless of depth or tank pressure.
- Optimized Port Layout: With four radial and one vertical low-pressure port, plus two symmetrical, pre-oriented high-pressure ports, you can achieve perfect, streamlined hose and transmitter positioning for any setup.
Lightweight Second Stage, Heavyweight Performance
The HR second stage offers exceptional breathing comfort without the weight.
- Adjustable Breathing Comfort: A simple knob lets you fine-tune the inhalation effort for a personalized feel.
- VAD & PAD Technology: The Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) and Pneumatically Assisted Design (PAD) work together to deliver a high flow of air naturally and with minimal effort, reducing breathing resistance.
- Ultralight Technopolymer Body: Reduces jaw fatigue while remaining incredibly durable and suitable for extreme cold water. An oversized purge button is easy to use even with thick gloves.
This DIN regulator system comes complete with a durable rubber low-pressure hose.
