Hey guys, I figure one of you will know this. Is there a supply, maybe at lowes or somewhere, of the black hose that figures like Airtight BBQ and Televiper use to connect their accessories to their backpacks?
I am thinking about modding my HEAT Vipers to resemble the vintage ones and I do not want to pay Ebay speculator prices for the vintage hose or cut up any of mine. Is this a standard part ( like the O rings are)? I figure it is a standard diameter and material of hose sold somewhere. I also intend to use it for Dio motorpool, machine shop and lab hose to just play with in general if I can get enough of it. Any help would br greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys, I knew it was available from Joes guys, I was wondering what the original use for this material was and if it was available that way. I am certain this wasn't invented for toys and I would rather not pay toy prices for it.

There's a noticeable diffence in quality between the original hoses and the current ones. The current seem much cheaper, thinner, and more susceptible to creasing.
Are the ones sold by smalljoes and other online sources more equivalent to the original hoses or the modern?

Yes, much closer to the Original, Puck. I buy them from either SmallJoes or GIJoeHeaven. If you check out the latter, they're found under the supply and repair parts section.

Ok, cool! Thanks man! Not knowing the quality is the only thing that kept me from ever pulling the trigger on a length of hose. I have several original Joes in need of hose . . .
