Since you're going for long hoses, I'm assuming you intend to donate the reg you're breathing in an OOA situation?
If so, then you should have BOTH regs on equally long hoses, as you're just as likely to donate one as the other.
You don't have to run the hoses up between cylinders either, if you don't want to. In the standard long-hose setup, the hose is run down from the shoulder to the hip. If you've already got the first stage at the hip, why bother routing the hose up just so you can bring it back down again? Doesn't add any value.
Nice to see there are still some people around who are willing to put their cylinders the right way up. So few people are aware that the only reason for valves being at the top is the old twin-hose regs that none of us use any more... |
