<font color='#000F22'>Ben uses a helmet with torches on and he's never blinded me. If he did I'd blind him back !! The secret is to aim the light off centre.

He doesn't use a hog loop but stuffs the long hose only using hog loop to restow.

It doesn't alter stage hose routing cos he doesn't use a waist mounted cannister but attaches to cylinders.

He does give great signals - I'll often swipe an OK with the torch just to see him roll his little head round again and again ... great sport.

It might not be DIR but it works for him and me who uses a DIR rig.

The fact remains he does look like a complete arse and watching him tryimg to adjust his mask after he's got it on should be a spectator event.
