They're braided, but chinese braided if you know what i mean. clear covers where you can see braiding inside them. I don't think they're swelling, rather, it's almost like when you "lose" initial hit engine power to torque flex in the motor mounts. I think application of pressure "moves" the lines, taking a small percentage of effective pressure away, as they have a ton of extra length and a lot of the line length is just looped on my floorpan. I intend to have fastenal make me a set to match the buggy, just don't have the time or $s right now.
