Bungee Cord or Bike Tube for inflator hose

[DOWNDEEP73]

Do you use Bungee Cord or Bike Tube for inflator hose loop?
I just ordered a new BP/W package and want to know what most others use.
Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Bungee on behind the D-ring.

Bike tube if you like on the shoulder strap

I use bungee for the inflator hose and bike tube to hold lights or anything else. The bungee is looser and stretchier which allows me to maneuver the hose better or remove it entirely if needed. Bike tube fits around the harness webbing fairly snug and I'd worry that it could deform and constrict the inflator hose.

Just had my first dive with my new DSS rig and I have bike tubing on the shoulder. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it when setting it up, but I was VERY pleased with how it worked. The only downside I could see is that replacing the tubing if it were to break would be a bit of a pain, but aside from that, no worries.

I use surgical tubing. There is a hose protecter wrapped around the hose where the tubing contacts the hose.

I actually use a gasket.

Used to use Bungee, still do on some rigs. My newer Halcyon rigs now use a big honkin' o-ring in place of the bungee, which seems to work well.

The bike tube is for holding the LP hose to the corrugated hose, not really for holding the corrugated hose to the rig.

I use velcro tape (2-sided) attached to the corrugated hose and run around the harness above my collar bone to capture both the corrugated hose and the LPI hose. I use a loop of bungee on the D-ring keeper to capture just the LPI hose which keeps the inflater under control but has plenty of stretch to dump gas.

Aha! Hmmm, I kinda like that idea.
