Art, I'd noticed that it was a couple inches longer than the hose on my other wings, which I'd shortened myself once, and had _still_ thought was maybe a couple inches or so too long. Ok, I measured it, the Halcyon hose is 16 inches, I'd been used to a 12 inch corrugated hose, and thinking about a 9 inch hose, but hadn't switched yet. Like you say, though, it's _so well_ put together, I hate to eff with it...Have to see where it hangs with a single tank, then decide. I really don't think I'll be diving with a DS with a single tank often if at all, so even though reaching both dump valves with one hand isn't a consideration, then, I still had plenty of room with the 12 inch hose.
