inflation hose for BPW questions

[poomero]

How are you guys mounting your inflation hoses to your shoulder strap on your BPW. Pictures would be appreciated

A piece of thin bungee through the left shoulder d ring buckle usually works well.

This is the way I do it:




I also replayed the 56cm inflator hose with a 51cm one.

What material is that.

What material is that.

Bicycle inner tube. I use bungee.

I don't attach it to the webbing.....I use a shorter and stiffer corrugated hose ( a piece of bungee cord around the corrugated hose and a 13" Miflex inflator hose under that to keep them together ) which keeps the whole set-up along side my neck on the left shoulder......It stays in place by itself........

This is how I do it as well.

If your harness is already installed on the plate the easiest method is to do like this photo but instead of using an o-ring (#330) use bungee cord. The advantage is you don't need to disassemble that side of the harness to add it like you would for the o-ring or the inner tube method.

Agree, also I've found bungee lasts much longer than inner tube. In fact I've never had bungee break but have torn a few inner tubes prior to moving exclusively to bungee. When I did use inner tube for lights I'd always thread a few spares every time I changed webbing so when one broke I wouldn't have to undo harness to put another on.

Halcyon harnesses, like the one in the photo, use a bungee cord instead of an o-ring. You can see the knot on the back side.
