[scubafanatic]

Has anyone seen, tested or had experience with the new Piranha PVC Low Pressure Regulator hoses ?

Any thoughts as to pro/cons of this material in a LP scuba hose application ?

(the Orange ones do look kinda cool!)

No experience with these ones (look neat) but Randy offers pretty good gear so id have no reservations about them.

Good match for deep6 regs . Sounds like something new, so probably too soon to tell on longetivity. The price is right, especially on the longer 60" and 84" hoses.

• This hose is made from a durable PVC material with special additives to resist ultravoilet rays and other harmful materials to rubber hoses!

Since "normal" pvc degrades relatively quickly in sunlight, durability will be the big question mark until these things have time to prove themselves (or not).

Sounds like you have made a very recent purchase.

considering the braided hose debacle, i am sticking with rubber and will wait on the results in 5 years.

Just moments before seeing this thread, I have the deep6 and thought I would check these out.

I may buy a couple of the Orange ones just to check them out in person.

"These hoses are slightly less flexiable than a standard rubber hose but not so much that you can really feel the difference in the water. "

From description. So beside more colorful, what is the advantage?
