I use MiFlex hoses (both regs & inflator), and love them... I agree with most of the points I see about them...
1) They're very light, and pack WONDERFULLY in a small reg bag.
2) They do make routing easier, and let me have a slightly shorter short hose.
3) They do lessen, but not eliminate, reg pulling on my mouth.
4) They are more bouyant, I'd say about neutral in freshwater.
5) They do tend to get wrapped up into things a little worse if you're not careful (usually not in the water when it happens).
6) The crimps on the end are MUCH longer, making me feel a little better about bending at the end, and making hose protectors redundant IMO.\
7) If you're tucking a loop under a harness or some such, these will come loose easier, the weave is slick compared to the rubber hoses.
8 ) Double/triple the price of a standard hose.
Ignore that weenie OMS light on my hand, I just got a H24 in yesterday to replace it
