Hello everyone,

I have a Mares XR BPW and it has an annoying bungee tie to hold the corrugated hose and inflator hose in place. What accessories are there out there that are more useful and reliable that I can use to replace the bungee tie? I know I've seen one somewhere but cannot find it.

Thanks in advance
Mau

It looks like there's enough exposed webbing to fit one of these:

I use a bungee, but I did grab one of these for my son's rig. Here's a pic of it opened up.

I use a bungee through a tri-glide, and just run the LP hose through it so it will slide as I lift it to vent. If you run the corrugated hose through as well, I can see how that would be annoying.

I don't route them through anything. I just let it hang.
