Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay I've been off diving. The hose problem was not a problem after all, and all her gear was non-latex certified. She is now diving and breathing ok. Thanks againscubatoys:The woven material is called "tech flex" and it would do a very good job of covering all the hoses. It also comes in lots of colors... It's kinda' a pain to put on properly, but we do it for 10 bucks a hose. If you shoot me a pm with an address, I can drop a few inches of it in the mail to you and you can check it out. It's just like the braided mesh you see on car engines a lot... plastic mesh, but the mesh is so tight, I think any contact with the actual hose would be virtually impossible.
