Over the years, divers have tried countless do-it-yourself methods for keeping stage and deco regulator hoses under control: Rubber band or inner tube sections can be difficult to grip. Rubber surgical tubing oxidizes rapidly and wears out quickly. Shock cord can be difficult to fasten securely. Surgical tubing and shock cord roll along the side of the tank, making them difficult to manage. Dive Gear Express elastic hose retainers offer a superior alternative for keeping hoses under control.

Stretches and loses elasticity over time
Jan 26, 2021
Stretches and loses elasticity over time. At the moment, I have one of these for an AL80 (8", Large are designed for 7.25-8" diameter) and it is pretty darn tight. I have to use a lot of effort to pull the tab to get a hose under it. On the flip side (and maybe unfair), I've talked to someone that's owned these for about a year, and seen that his straps are clearly stretched and worn (think 10-year-old underwear bands). I hope mine don't degrade that quickly.
On a positive note, these are probably much more abrasion-resistant (finding out that flex-hoses slowly tear up rubber tank straps). So, I guess this product has both pros and cons in comparison to traditional rubber straps.
Nice alternative to the EPDM
Apr 28, 2018
The softer neoprene-foam-infused material makes it easy to slide a hose through and the retainer doesn't slide or roll down the cylinder when stowing a hose. The tab is just the right size and can be located with thick drygloves on. I ordered the large size and found that they fit both my 7.25" (18cm) diameter and 6" (15cm) diameter cylinders nice and snug.
