Wings? Sorry just thought I'd be pedantic.

I find my corrugated hose forces me to raise my left shoulder which causes my auto dump (on the ds) to work properly, so I'd not want to get rid of it on that basis alone. I suspect the idea would work i.e. no corrugated hose, well enough if you were wet suited as air dumping is usually done via a shoulder dump valve. Maybe its there to act as redundant fill when equipment was less reliable than nowdays.
