Brand: Sherwood
Located in: Essential Equipment, Regulators
The Brut is aptly named. It will absolutely do the job for any sport diver, and do it at a fraction of the cost of many high performance regulators. Maybe that's why rental operators and dive schools make Brut their number-one choice. the dry, positive-pressure first stage resists contaminants and meets the demands of rugged use. Second-stage features include sherwoods exclusive Venturi assist and variable fulcrum encased in a damage-resistant Triax housing for smooth, easy breathing and tough-as-nails dependability.

This is the sixth Sherwood regulator I have purchased. My whole family dives Sherwood. This regulator was purchased for my 12 year old, and it is providing the bullet proof operation I have come to expect from Sherwood regulators.

Comments about Sherwood Sherwood Brut Regulator:

Finally bought my first new regulator after 25 years, and so I bought the same as the old one. Sherwood Bruts are as tough as the name - my old Sherwood Brut is still functional after 25 years (including 6 years in storage whilst I worked abroad), so I was only ever going to replace it with the same thing. They have (not surprisingly) made a few improvements over the past 25 years, but I still rate the breathing quality higher than more expensive models.

Comments about Sherwood Sherwood Brut Regulator:

I initially bought the Sherwood Brut for both my wife and myself because of the price but like all new endeavors; the more you do something the more you need and expect out of your equipment. The Brut will perform but you get what you pay for. At depths greater than 70 feet and especially past 100 feet, breathing seemed labored. I found that this does not do well in the upside down position either. The one feature I actually liked was the mouth piece, it’s just as plain as the regulator but it seemed to be the right size for both my wife (who has braces) and myself. I currently use another regulator with a Comfo-Bite mouthpiece that hurts the roof of my mouth. The one thing I really disliked about the Brut is that you can’t control the flow rate, the day I decided to change Regs was the day my wife was startled underwater and had a hard time catching her breath. That incident convinced both her and I that it was time to move on. The Brut is a good basic regulator but don’t expect too much. Also… Both Regulators had the “O” rings fail where the second stage meets the hose. It was an easy fix but aggravating. We dive at least three times a week every week but if you only dive once or twice a year then this may be a better option.
