Rating: Perfect Fit
Reviewer: Ralph W., Thursday, October 20, 2011 - View all my reviews
Got this hose for my octo do to some wreck diving and penetration emergency drills. Excellent. Bright color was easy to see in limited visibility, and the flexability was great for doing a nice S-coil behind my BCD to keep it out of the way.

Rating: I Love MIFLEX
Reviewer: Timothy Locklear, Monday, August 16, 2010  
Love these hoses. Basically eliminated the jaw fatigue caused by my old rubber hoses. Very durable, flexible, and attractive. No problems so far. I recommend MIFLEX to anyone looking to lighten their kit or make their reg set more comfortable. A++

Rating: Great Product for under arm regulator hose!!!!!
Reviewer: Ryan Rexroad, Tuesday, May 04, 2010 - View all my reviews
This is a great hose much better then a standard rubber hose. I purchase the 48" hose so, I could run the hose under my right arm to prevent my hose getting hung up on kelp, weeds, rocks etc.. The most important part of this product is that if you tie it in a knot it will still work and I can vouch for that. I was diving and the hose kinked at my swivel just off my 1st stage and I didnt notice it until I got out of the water and my dive buddy saw it. There was no reduction in air flow.

Rating: looking forward to a longer hose life
Reviewer: JOHN FRASER, Tuesday, April 20, 2010 - View all my reviews
i got this MIFLEX regulator hose for its supposed longevity. as a part of my regulator system, it performs adequately and the same as the conventional one it replaced, which is what i expected. there are two things worthy of note: 1. the day glow yellow color which i chose is extremely visible and that was commented on by my dive buddies. 2. the hose is very slick. i think that helps prevent external wear. it is so slippery, however, that the hose slips thru the clip which i use to fasten it on my bcd. i had the old hose fastened so that the regulator was on my right shoulder and close to my mouth. now, the regulator end of the MIFLEX slips from my shoulder all the way down below my waist, still threaded thru the clip at my shoulder. a trade-off i suppose. it seems that only a smaller diameter or traction material coated clip will solve this problem.

Rating: Miflex regulator hose
Reviewer: James B., Sunday, March 21, 2010 - View all my reviews
No more sore jaw muscles from having to clamp down on my regulator mouth piece to keep the regulator hose from pushing it out of my mouth. Almost like a "virtual" connection between the first and second stage.

Rating: Why do rubber hoses still exist?
Reviewer: Doug P., Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - View all my reviews
compared to rubber hoses, these hoses are lighter, stronger, more flexible and they look cool. the standard scuba hose is simply a thick rubber hose that is used for scuba. these are hoses that are designed from the ground up with diving in mind. again, i would say its time for the standard scuba hose to be, well, hosed and replaced with the in-every-way-superior miflex.

Rating: 7ft Miflex Hose
Reviewer: Mathue T., Sunday, May 06, 2012
Prior to the purchase if my 7ft miflex long hise, I hated using my long hose. I love the miflex, less buoyant, softer and easier to route. I wouldnt dive wuthout it!

Rating: Miflex Reg Hose
Reviewer: Nathan Davey, Saturday, June 06, 2009
I have had the Miflex 26" regulator hose suppling my BOV on my Hammerhead CCR for sometime now. It is lighter and more flexible than the "old school" hoses making routing and streamlining significantly better. I have since, replaced all of my LP and HP hoses with Miflex. A superior product.

Rating: Takes the pressure off your mouthpiece
Reviewer: Jim McKeever, Thursday, February 16, 2012 - View all my reviews
These flex hoses are great. This is my second one. They relieve all of the pressure from the regulator mouthpiece when you turn your head. Ill put one on every regulator set from now on.

Rating: Great safety purchase
Reviewer: William S., Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - View all my reviews
The hose fit my octopus with no problem - screwed right on at both ends. The flexible thin hose tucks away in one of my BC rungs easily and comes free with a pull so supplying air to a buddy is no problem. I bought this in preparation to take the wreck diving course. The 5 foot length is long enough to supply air easily with an extra measure of safety and maneuverability, but not the 7 or 10 foot length that cave divers use, being too long for my recreational use. Well worth the investment.
