Default 4" Air vent hose alternative

Has anyone found a good alternative to dryer hose for their blowers? The white hose looks like crap and falls apart.

You could try some 4'' uninsulated flex duct. It comes aluminized, so it could add some bling to your vent hose.
We use it for bath vent fans, and short dryer runs.

You should try a race car parts supplier. Brake duct hoses come in a number of styles, and will take all the abuse and heat your engine compartment can dish out. The only problem is the std. size is 3", but 4" may be available. Just a thought!

The race stuff is great and will last forever. The 3" is more common but 4" is available.

I have plenty of the 3" available in black and I have one 12' blue piece in 4" avail. It was a special order for someone that I got stuck with.
