You put a little duct tape over it and any fraying issues are resolved! They do look interesting to me, is there good reason to expect them to provide additional longevity?

Frayed hose + dry gloves + dry suit... no thanks, I risk enough grabbing dumb stuff like barnacle encrusted rocks as it stands.

Somebody go first please!

You can always sleeve them over with racing bicycle 18mm lightweight tubes as a chafe guard.

I went to the flex hoses to save weight and they do save weight and I do quite like them, up to 36/40 inches, beyond that a standard hose would be preferable to me. These stainless steel braided hoses would probably be too heavy for my needs.

Useful to Sea Hunt or James Bond types in thwarting villains with BFKs.

I was thinking more shark diving chain-mill suit but yeah

Sounds really painful once they start to "fray"

Having used lots of stainless steel wrapped or wire reinforced hoses for other industrial applications and I can tell you once one of those stainless wires brakes it leaves a nice little finger stabber that get you every time.

BTDT. Hard pass. For static hose, sure. Not for something moving. Great way to tear up a dry suit/gloves.

Seems like a solution looking for a problem.
