Inflator hose, coupling stays "open", where to buy?

[Mike1967]

Geez they'd want to be good, just heard back from the Australian dealer and they're $100 for 80cm and $110 for 25cm. Too dear IMO.

Doesn't seem outrageous to me here. $59.95 Cdn

Si-Tech Hose for Dry suit buy and offers on Scubastore

Yeah that's $66 AUD, I could handle that.

Of course, if you can't find it at home, there's delivery charge which may bring it into the unreasonable realm.

There's a Sitech distributor in Aus, according to Sitech's website, for whatever that is worth.

My order will take a few weeks. Mike let me know when you get your Balder earlier. I am curious.

No can do mate, I'm not paying $200 for hoses I don't really need. I might just get a couple of those little hat things for 15 bucks

if you are going for a hat, use zipties for even less $$. tie 2 into each other, "blocky" bits on opposite sides of the hose and you have a hat

Just got the XS Adapter, looks good but perhaps a bit bulky when screwed onto a lp hose.
Apeks Inflator Hose 90 cm Also got this one, coupling stays open. Unfortunately it is not a Miflex hose but coupling looks good. I will test it.
I also ordered the two SiTech hoses, Quick on and Balder. They will arrive in a few days or weeks.
