Agile off-road diff breather

Most companies that offer diff beather sets use plastic air lines because the associated connections are practical. However, an Australian company recommends rubber pipes because they are more stable in the long term and do not become brittle even in cold temperatures. I bought the rubber hose last year for just over 1 euro. Today it costs around 2.40 euros per meter. I bought 10 m back then but definitely still have 3 m left.
 
The hard plastic tubing is quite common in multiple industries, is available in multiple colors and compositions, and given the questionable quality of some modern rubber sources, it is also my preference. PTC (push to connect) fittings make assembly simple. I have run these components in Land Rover breathers for decades without a single issue. And in 2016 I even re-plumbed the EAS on my ‘95 Range Rover Classic, including parallel manual air-suspension recovery lines, to get me home in event of a compressor failure.
