Just made my own hose cover this weekend. It's so much warmer now. Bought some fleece material and sewed it in a long strip. Cost a total of 5 bucks!

Any landing you walk away from is a good one; if you don't break your airplane it's excellent.

Yes, I have one from padacheek. Along with a nose pillow cover Padacheek made I'm having very little moisture in the nasal pillows and it's very comfy.

I didn't think it was necessary to cover that short hose at first, but it has made a difference in the condensation I get right in the pillows.

I didn't see the nose pillow cover on their web page. Do you have to ask for it?

Haven't got the FX hose cover since I just pull my main hose cozy all the way up over the FX hose and cover the end of the main hose with socks.

But I do want to put a plug in for the "nasal pillow barrel cozy" that Karen also makes and sells through Pad-A-Cheek. While the Pad-A-Cheek web site only shows them for the Swift II, she'll be happy to make them for the FX if you just ask for that instead of the Swif II for the same price as the Swift II barrel cozy.

The barrel cozy helps keeps the silicone part just below the pillows from touching your upper lip and it also insulates that barrel as well so there's less rainout right at the pillows in the mask in the morning.

Thanks everyone for your reply. I like sleeping in a cool bedroom but I don't like the feel of a cold nose pillow riding on my upper lip. A cover for the short hose and pillow sounds good to me.
