   |  Stage bottle hose length I don't really use one, certainly have only taken one once since fundies last year, but I bought a second hand 1st stage and regulator last week, it needs a good service but was a bit of a bargain  It came with about a 2m hose but what would the ideal hose length be if I wanted to use it on a stage bottle. |

| Hi, Some of my DST got 100 cm hoses, some 90 cm hoses. Both lengths work well.

I might have a spare hose in my kit box that would be suitable, I'll have a look over the weekend, if I have you are welcome to it
