Default Aftermarket silicone hoses

Anyone here tried or are familiar with these hoses?

Gplus Fit silicone hoses

I've replaced some of mine already with LR silicone hoses, but their cooling hoses seem to have gone out of stock, hence looking for alternatives. Mine are in blue, which this company offers as well.

I ran them for about 2 years w/o issue before my engine swap.

you can get blue silicone coolant hoses with the correct liners in them from amazon and ebay.

I ordered a set of those same hoses but have not yet put them on my car. They appear to be well made. The included hose clamps look cheap so I am currently looking for alternatives. I like the constant tension "spring" type clamps but have read that they are not appropriate for silicone hoses so I have been looking at "stack drive" constant tension worm clamps.
Would love to hear other opinions on different types of clamps with silicone hoses.

I use high quality NORMA hose clamps from Germany with rolled edges. I use T-bolt clamps for everything else under boost pressure

I like these for most places. I think 12mm wide ones are also used but I just use the 9mm wide everywhere. They also have T-Bolt clamps too.

For anyone looking for hose clamps, I ordered several sizes of worm-drive clamps with smooth band in all 304 Stainless Steel from McMaster and what they sent were Norma branded made in Germany hose clamps.
They were significantly cheaper than the same 10 quantity packs sold on amazon or any other place I could find them.
