Anyone know of a good place to get some 1/4 in. silicone drinking hose? I need a replacement for my hyperfilter and MSR wants $15 for 4 feet of it. Thats way too much for me.

Some car shops like Kragen and Pep Boys may have it. If you have to pick between two shops, choose the one that's more likely to carry more import rice accessories.

Tap Plastics. A Box with 50' of hose is cheap, cheap, cheap. Fifty foot roll of 1/4" id - 1/16" wall is $10.95. It's what I've been using for years.

You'll have a lifetime supply for you and all your friends.
