"I'm not sure I understand this description.. The hose from the stage bottle shouldn't be deployed unless you are using it.. When not is use it is stowed in bungee on the bottle so I'm unclear on what you are trying to describe."
Yes the hose on the pony was bungied to the tank along with the regulator. Drags in the current believe it or not.
I had a 7' hose wrapped around the head and mounted to a backup regulator. IMO also creating unnecessary drag. I ditched em and to was easier going. It's not hard to visualize is it , the hose created a trap for the water and it slowed me down. I liked the 36" primary routed under the right arm this seems like a better setup. I'm just trying different ideas that people say work for them.
