I'm helping a new diver shop for gear, and I'm trying to find a good price on a good reg set that's set up for cold water.

Back when I was gearing up I got a Dive Rite RG2500ICE from one of our favorite vendors, and the price was great... Less than $400 w/ octo, I think. I bet that was partly because it came with the most modest second stage that DR made as the octo (the 1215, I think). But I can't find anywhere that has a deal like that any more.

Any leads out there? I'm hoping to find a vendor that'll let me customize hose length, too...

(I bet I'll get some offers for used stuff, but in this case, buying for a new diver, I want to stick with new stuff with a warranty.)
 
I am not sure what your Cold water is, but I have been using these regs on my doubles in water around 42*. The coldest water I have had them in was 38*. Great breathing reg, that I really like... If you talk to Phil Ellis on this board I would think that he could put together a package for you with what ever hose size you would want...

LP has the Cressi Ellipse Alaska setup for $265 + $80 for the matched Octo.

Scroll a little more than 1/2 the way down the page for a Dive Rite setup.

I am not affiliated with them, nor have I ever used them. But came across this and thought it seemed pretty decent.
