Hi, just curious. Over time what happens to the flexibility of rubber regulator hoses? From new, do they "break-in", i.e. become more flexible? Or do they stiffen with age?

Thanks
 
I had a 5' rubber hose fail at the crimp on out at Cocos Island last week. It probably came from DGX but we trashed it so I can't say for sure.
