Claim:
A hose comprising a woven fabric and having at least one distribution hole for introduction and distribution of inflator gas on actuation of an air bag, which hose is installed in a side curtain air bag module, wherein the outer surface of said hose is coated with a rubber or a synthetic resin, and the maximum drawing resistance of fiber is at least 70 N/3 cm in a warp direction and a weft direction, when the drawing resistance is measured by a pin-hitching method defined in JIS L1096, 8.21.3 with a sample having a width of 3 cm and a length of 5 cm which is cut out from the hose such that the periphery of the hole constitutes one side of the sample and the width direction of the sample is perpendicular to each of the warp and weft directions of the fabric of the hose, wherein said fabric has a cover factor (CF) that is defined by the following formula, of from 2,200 to 5,000 in the lengthwise direction and from 600 to 900 in the widthwise direction of said hose: CF=[total fineness (dtex) of a yarn in lengthwise or widthwise direction of a hose] 1/2 ×[weave density in lengthwise or widthwise direction of a hose (threads/2.54 cm)], and wherein a coated amount of said rubber or said synthetic resin is 25 to 60% by weight of the weight of the hose before coating.
