I've made that mistake too (but only once <g>)

You shouldn't re-use the condom despite what Mr Shimell might tell you!  Use
it once and then get rid of it.  If you're doing multiple dives in a day you
may want to leave it on provided it has sufficient adhesive.

Well, I've tried most conceivable routings over the years and the DIR is the
best.  Burn a hole in your thinsulate at the top of the leg (front).  Route
the hose through that, loop it up and over coming down to the condom.
Best,
John.
