As for the 5' hose... I am 6'1", and it's all torso. Sue is 5'7", Kim is 5'8". We all have the same inseam. Keeping a 5' hose tucked in my waist belt isn't going to happen.
Unless you're 4' tall, why would you consider tucking a 5' hose? It just goes under your arm, up across your chest, and around the back of your neck. (For some larger people, this routing needs a 6' hose.)
