FFM hose routing/shortening

[rcrs007]

Just wondering how you guys route your ffm hose ? I've got a ~30inch hose w swivel and it's always in a big loop ready to get caught on something. Having it underneath my left armpit didn't work, didn't have full range of motion when turing my head to the right.

Maybe shortening it will work, never done that before, what does a LP hose shortening usually cost ?

Any suggestions ?

what kind of FFM do you use?

I use a 28" non-swivel hose and have never had any issues.
I've heard that FFMs are a big DIR no no. I wear an alternate on a necklace, they can pull that off me but they wont get my mask...

38 to 42 inch long hose under the arm with a swivel, full range of motion and reduced profile in a snag prone environment and the hose doesnt' pry out on the mask. DIR? Well....

Routing up under the armpit works if your hose is long enough.
Lots cleaner that way too.
