Long hose routing

Well, I recently upgraded my regs to a long hose primary, but I'm having trouble routing it. i've been going down over my right shoulder, then up across my chest to my left armpit, then across my neck to my face. But that ain't workin out. so how do you route yours?

Long Hose

I use a 6ft long hose and route it as follows.
Out right side of reg., under right armpit, then around neck 360 deg, then to mouth.

Assuming that it is a 7' hose: Down right side of your back,hook it under can light/knife/pocket on right side of waistbelt.Up body to left side of neck,round back of neck and into your mouth.

If it is a 5' hose put it under your right arm rather than under a can light.

You can also tuck the 7 foot hose into a waistbelt rather than under a can light.

Ditto

PS--a 7ft. hose can also be coiled and bungeed to your tank on your R side....not real common but done in certain locations.

I think I remember reading K-Valve has a set up similar to that (coiled and bungeed). I wonder where he picked it up from...

Sometimes if I don't have my can light I'll also tuck it in the waist strap on the right side, where the can would have been.

That's what I do as well when I don't need the light. It works just fine.

You get it figured out yet or do I need to scrounge up some pictures?
