I used 7' with my Scubapro glide bc and it was OK. My solution for the routing was that a Dring that this jacket has used to work as a light canister to keep the hose. So the hose went behind the jacket, under the Dring and my arm. And bangeed back up.
So I didn't have to do many changes in the set up when finally i got my bp/w

If I have someone who needs to borrow gear - I loan them my Knighthawk along with a long hose setup. You take the excess from the 7' and loop it under the cumberbun. It's actually easier to deploy this way than if you have a can light.

I am not necessarily worried about tucking because I am going to use a 5' hose. My jacket BC is a SP classic plus. Was hoping to just go under the right, wrap around behind head and over shoulder. Then stick with the bungeed backup. If this all seems to work out, I intend on ditching my AIR2 and putting the same inflator my wing has so there will be no regulator changes whatsoever.

With a 7 foot hose, the excess hose is tucked under the can light or into the belt. What prevents the 5 foot hose from riding up or is in a non-issue?
