u/always_diving

Basically what the titles says. Normally I dive with a standard 210cm primary longhose. On my last vacation I made the experience that that hose length can get in the way, f.e. when all the gear is in the middle on the way to the dive site or when storing it in the middle again after the dive. So I was considering going with a 1,50m hose setup rec monowing diving with no cave penetration, so even in an OOA-situation the length is more than enough). What's your experience with that hose length? Is it a drawback from the 210cm hose? Is it more comfortable on a tender/ would solve my problem? How is it handling underwater? How streamlined is it? Miflex or Rubber.

I currently own a Mares XR BP+W, sadly the seams of the outer shell of the wing have started failing already after only around 100-150dives, so I wanna replace the wing with something a bit more high-quality. I will continue to use the Backplate and the Harness as they are still in a fine condition so I only need a recommendation for a new wing. The wing should have atleast 16 litres, and should fit in a nice balance of longevity/high quality and price. I only use it for traveling so it would be nice if it worked without a STA.
I have taken a look at XDeep and TecLine. Anyone with experience on them? Anyone with something else they could recommend?
