I shot off an email to DGX asking what lining is used in their rubber and braided hoses. I'll post back their response.

I'm using one on my primary to replace a braided hose. I like it, soft, very flexible, lightweight, good price. My understanding is that it's a two piece hose, all rubber but one hose inside another. That explains the suppleness but does raise the issue of being unable to physically inspect the inner hose that carries the air. However, I trust Piranha and will continue to use these hoses.Wondering about piranha ultraflexible rubber hose UltraFlex Low Pressure Hose 26
@StephaneD the ultraflex use the same inner core as the braided hoses and are subject to the same deterioration. Advantage over the braided is they won't pull neck hair or abrade suits/seals
How to check inner lining material?
my understanding is PET on those
