I was having rainout issues with my new machine, so I got some fleece to make a hose cover with. No more rainout for me. Turns out I had extra fabric, so I'm making more and selling them.
I'm asking for $15 USD which includes shipping to your house if you're in the US. If my shipping charges go up exponentially due to where you live, then that price would go up slightly. This is for the cover and black scrunchies only, no hose included. PM me if you're interested.

Has anyone tried using some of that thin light-weight MPI emergency/thermal blanket material as a liner inside a micro-fleece hose cover. I bet it would significantly boost the thermal insulation efficiency of a hose cover without adding bulk ... don't know if it would add noise issues though?
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Those things are very crinkly sounding...imagine curling up with a plastic shopping bag (definitely not good when you have a cat who's favorite thing is chewing plastic shopping bags-lol). Plus the more you flex & bend them, they start to lose some of the silvery coating.
There are some insulated curtain lining materials I know some people have used in the past for increased insulation, which has a reflective layer of fabric, similar to silver reflective ironing board covers, along with a layer of batting & another layer of thin fabric on the other side. I'm playing around with lining the next hose cover I make with an extra ironing board cover I have. Its not the silvery fabric typically used on ironing board covers, but a woven, heat reflective fabric that is similar to what they use in fire proof/protective gear. Its soft & flexible, and I know from the other ironing board covers I've used like it, it does really reflect the heat...and it was only $2, at my local dollar store (much better then the $25+ I paid for my first one).

I'm personally finding that at least the fleece I used does just fine. I live in a heated house and all, but currently there's no rainout at all until the air hits the mask.
