MTX-R Sidemount Set

The MTX-R sidemount set is a super tough, rugged, high performance, go anywhere sidemount regulator configuration designed to meet the rigours of cold water and extreme sidemount diving. Highly reliable and easy to service out in the field, this is the ideal choice for expedition and exploration divers.

First stages
