thanks for the comments, keep them coming! Does anyone have any cons i.e. an extra thing to disconnect when getting out of the car....

I was suprised that it didn't bother me when I hopped outa the car when it caught a little fire. I totally forgot about the blower hose, undid the net and belts and hopped out. I felt a small tug on the helmet, but that was about it. Only later did it occur to me what that small tug was.

I had thought that with the barbs on the helmet, that the hose would catch more - but it didn't. It may be because my hose has the hose end adapters that F.A.S.T sells:

I'd highly recommend those instead of trying to force the hose itself over the helmet port.
