I've bought some & used them on my new reg set. Only a few dives so far, they seem fine.
But, i do have a suggestion:
Lose the braided cover. For a lot of places, that cover will never be an issue. For those of us who frequently dive on artificial sites, it is.
Up in the FL panhandle, we dive things that were sunk for the purpose of creating diving & fishing sites. bridge span sections, wrecks, etc.
Fishing boats hammer these places. Diving them, entanglement is merely a question of "when", not "if". Bridge spans in particular pose a hazard for divers as they tend to have broken off fishing lines hanging from the top of the structure. These lines have hooks.
The 1st hose I replaced with a miflex was my wing inflator hose. Even without a braided cover, a hook managed to snag it & put a hole in it.
With the braided cover, I can see this happening a LOT easier. Hate to say it, but any hose I replace due to a fish hook in it again will not be a hose with a braided cover.
