Not that brittle really, but if it takes a whack and splits, it'll cost a few quid to replace.

The sun damages it after a while but, like you say, for a few quid you can't go wrong. The first time I went out with my safari on, the top got damaged and bent... £50 damage :doh:

I don't think anyone has said a diy snork can't look good. Just that they don't look good.

I also wonder that in the cold of winter how much more brittle will it be, I know that its cheep to relace and all that but i am not sure that I would like to leave the job of keeping water out to a bit of plastic that is brittle.
All that water needs to get in is a small crack, and I thought that was the idea, what hapens if you break the thing down when your out at the start of a trip, -------fun over for the day, would rather have a stainless pipe. yes i know every town has a B&Q and they can be open late, but do you want the hastle.

Where did you get your flexi pipe from at the bottom?
Looks good Better than my (much more bodged) drain pipe snorkle.
I've had mine on for about 2 years now and it's not cracked / broken / suffered from the cold or heat
