XS Scuba, Inc. is pleased to announce that MIFLEX Hoses, the manufacturer of a revolutionary line of high performance braided hoses, has named them their exclusive N. American distributor. MIFLEX hoses feature a patent pending double nylon safety braiding designed to outperform and outlive traditional rubber hoses. MIFLEX hoses are 30% lighter than an equivalent length rubber hose and have unmatched flexibility. You can tie a MIFLEX hose in a knot and be assured of continuous, uninterrupted airflow. These Italian made hoses have a minimum burst pressure of 3600 psi, more than twice rubber hoses. Every hose is subjected to more than 30 performance and safety tests to receive the EN250 certification. Low pressure hoses are available for regulators and B.C. jackets in a wide range of lengths.
