It is a light, travel-friendly BCD matched to the best-breathing regulator Apeks makes, and it suits the diver who wants one kit for holidays and the odd UK weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two suit each other because both are about fit and tidiness. The Rogue's modular straps let us fit the BCD to your body rather than asking you to settle for a standard size, and the EVX200 has a first stage with its ports angled where the hoses need to go. You get back inflation for better trim, a regulator you will not outgrow, and a rig that takes far less room in a suitcase than most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package comes with a DIN regulator, an alternate air source and an Apeks pressure gauge.

The EVX200 first stage has five medium-pressure ports and two angled high-pressure ports, so the octopus, inflator hose and gauge sit close to the body, and the Rogue's octopus holder keeps the alternate where you can find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne rig for a UK winter and a warm water trip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVX200 first stage is environmentally sealed and over-balanced, with an Auto Closure Device that keeps water and grit out between dives, and the second stage has a heat exchanger. That is the specification that matters in British water, and it is just as happy in warm. Be straight with yourself about lift, though: the Rogue's 15 litres suits a wetsuit and an aluminium cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasier to kit up on a boat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SureLock II weight system releases with a single pull, and the GripLock tank band has a finger-saver so you do not trap a hand on a rocking deck. The EVX200's double swivel hose lets the second stage follow your head.

The package has no yoke option. DIN is the standard for most UK cylinders, and if you travel to destinations that use yoke valves, a DIN-to-yoke adapter covers you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this package over the Rogue and MTX-RC package?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVX200 breathes slightly more smoothly and has far better hose routing. The MTX-RC is built tougher for the harshest conditions.

The BCD is the limit: 15 litres is marginal with a drysuit and a steel cylinder. For a wetsuit or an aluminium cylinder it is fine, and if your diving is mostly UK drysuit, ask us before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the package include a gauge or dive computer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gauge is included: an Apeks pressure gauge with its high-pressure hose, fitted to the first stage. A dive computer isn't included. The EVX200's angled high-pressure ports suit an air-integrated transmitter, and we can fit one when you buy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying the Rogue and EVX200 package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the rig we recommend to travelling divers who want a regulator they won't need to replace. The Rogue is light, well specified and fits properly, and the EVX200 is a UK-made regulator that breathes beautifully and keeps its hoses tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a package, it arrives set up and tested as one rig, gauge included, ready to dive. The one thing to be honest with yourself about is lift, so if your diving is UK drysuit and steel, talk to us first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to compare the parts on their own?
