Default where to buy high-temp hose for brake ducting?

i saw people in some photos use orange hose that looks a lot sturdier than the stuff I have (which gets worn out due to flexing). where are you guys buying that?

Thanks all!

It appears that what I have is "neoprene", not "silicone" ducting whatever that means... could this be a reason for fast wear?

I have relocated the plastic duct extentions several times to be 100% sure the hose stays away from the wheels, but they still wear in the spots where the hose itself flexes/bends the most.

you want the silicone version. It will wear much better AND resist heat from track braking. spend it now or spend it later.
