    Ok, after reading and asking questions about air hose I'm a little confused still. If it's a fact that rubber is better overall then PVC then why does it seem that more PVC is sold then rubber? At least it seems that way as far as what all the retailers stock and sell anyway. There must be something about rubber that isn't as good as PVC. Anybody know?
    PVC is half the cost.

        Well I found another. PVC is ever so much lighter. I went to HF this past weekend and compared the two and that rubber is way heavier.
