I recently came across an interesting alternative to the standard DIR/Hogarthian hose configuration and wondered if anyone here could think of any reason not to do it.
Instead of running the HP hose down your left side it is routed over the left shoulder alongside your wing inflator hose and LP inflator. These three components are bungeed together and covered in a neoprene sleeve (optional i guess) leaving the last inch or so free to allow runaway inflators to be disconnected.
This setup puts the gauge at the end of the inflator within easy reach (possibly even handsfree) and leaves the left side d-ring entirely clear.
I have been racking my brains to work out why this is not standard. Any thoughts?
Cheers!
