Karla, A lot of people has given you good reasons why not to stuff the hose. I was more thinking about the problem that you hade that the hose kept = coming over your neck. Why not try "stuffing" the excess hose in the waiststrap if you dont = have a canister light or if you are a short person,=20 why not try a slightly shorter long-hose. I think the worst reason, apart from all the others, for stuffing the = longhose is that you might damage it without knowing...
