Karla, I see you made it to techdiver.  Good to see you are asking 
some questions here!

The reason the hose is tightening up is that you are routing it too 
long, probably you have it too far under the pocket or something. 
The other possible problem is that the hose is rubbing up against 
another hose, and this friction causes it to not move freely when you 
move your head.

Breathing the long hose is the way to go, it makes more sense to 
figure out how to do that right, than to come up with some convoluted 
CF.  Once you get the long hose working right, it's a revelation. 
Kind of like the first time you bought a camera and it came with a 
lens cap that was attached to the strap, so you don't loose it every 
time you take it off.  It simply makes sense, and works beautifully.

Cheers.
