Need a regulator hose that can stand up to the rigours of even the toughest environments? You need XT-Tech from Miflexhoses!

The XT-Tech series of medium pressure hoses offer technical divers additional safety with Kevlar reinforcement in the inner braiding, combined with a smooth outer PU layer. The XT-Tech series of diving hoses, offers the same characteristics of the traditional rubber hose, with the plus of being much lighter in weight. Is this the ultimate regulator hose? We certainly think so.

Thanks to the infinite generosity of the good folk at Miflexhoses, we've got a 2.1 metre XT-Tech regulator hose to give away at Scuba Santas this Sunday. All you have to go to be in with a chance is to buy a raffle ticket - tickets cost just £1 and are available over the phone (min 5 tickets) or via the Vobster shop. Tickets will be available to buy on the day :-)

With water temperatures dropping from 'balmy' to 'crikey that's a tad fresh', now's the time to invest in decent thermals and they don't get much better than the new X-CORE vest from Fourth Element.

Utiltising the body’s own heat output and retaining it, weight for weight the X-Core is our warmest undergarment yet. Pair it with an Arctic, Halo 3D or Arctic Expedition to experience warmth without batteries or wires.
