Central vac Hose sleeve

[overanalyze]

Has anyone used the padded quilted zipper vac sleeves on your festool hoses? They look a little cheesy, but I like the zipper function...kindof like these.

I have, what appears to be, that exact sleeve on the hose of my upstairs central vac hose.

I have had it for a few years and it has held up. It's been dragged over railings, around corners, up and down the stairs, all sorts of abuse. It's a bit on the thin side, but the thing I think could better is the string that attaches the end of the sleeve to the hose. It could be better, but it does work.
