The Miflex™ extreme performance braided flex SCUBA hoses are manufactured in Italy with more than thirty individual performance and safety automated tests. We stock only black color hoses except for the 40-inch regulator hose, although Miflex brand low pressure hoses are manufactured in a rainbow of colors available from other retailers. Miflex hoses are distributed in the US by XS Scuba and are individually packaged with a reusable vinyl pouch.

DGX Premium braided flex SCUBA hoses are manufactured in Taiwan. The finished hoses are pressure tested by the manufacturers and each are again tested by us immediately prior to shipping to the consumer. The DGX Premium hoses are manufactured to our specification for length and thus are available in an exceptionally broad range of individual lengths. Our unbranded generic hoses have a lower retail price as a result of being sourced directly from the manufacturer in bulk packaging.

Cosmetics, construction, and flexibility of the low pressure braided hoses are similar with only minor differences between Miflex and DGX, but the high pressure versions are significantly different. The Miflex high pressure hose outside diameter is a third thinner, more flexible and includes protectors on the fittings to improve impact resistance. The DGX Premium high pressure hose includes a woven Kevlar layer creating a typical outside diameter that better fits consoles and boots.

All hoses are designed to meet CE EN250 standards and are Nitrox Ready. Our long experience with the branded Miflex and generic DGX Premium hoses has been both have similar reliability in the field. Regardless of brand, every product we sell is backed by Dive Gear Express 5-star quality customer service.
