I've got Apeks hoses with the rubber hose protectors on them which does stop it from kinking like in your picture. I've never replaced a hose and I've been diving that configuration for almost 10 years now.

Not sure you made the right decision Mal. I think would have gone for 2 x DINS and not one of each!

Looking at the Jpeg the hose appears to be kinking.
If that is the case then that will restrict the flow especially to a second stage.
Not good for the performance of a second stage.

I have dived with this set up for several years. I did over 400 dives with it in one year as a dive guide, and never had any issues. My back up reg is also on a long hose, and I run it tucked behind the wing, giving a less bent exit from the reg.
