There has been plenty of discussion about induction tube boots lately so I thought I'd share the direction I'm taking with reinforced silicone hose and constant tension clamps.
Disclaimer- I have not flown this yet so I have no idea if this hose will live up to its promise of long service life, but its cheap enough to experiment with.
The hose is a 12" length procured from Summit which was easily cut into 2" boots with a utility knife. The clamps are Roto Clip brand PN HC-34.

Clamps: https://www.rotorclip.com/cat_pdfs/hc.pdf
Initial impressions are excellent. The hose is plenty stiff to prevent collapse under vaccuum and the clamps provide plenty of security. I can't see these things blowing off.
