You talking about the clear vinyl with the inlaid braiding? From what I understand, it's OK. Tygon seems to be the best, Silicon would probably be the next choice. But the braided is better that the straight out vinyl since it's a little stiffer. IOW, it doesn't kink as easily.

It sucks.

Too ridgid. One guy here lost a TBird when its tension lifted a Maze 2 off the socket. Plus its really hard to clamp. Vinyl tube in general sucks.
