Does not work in winter use. Bought for year round use and it is too stiff for winter use and too cheap for it too. Darn bought two. Off to find a better option and better hose that is not too stiff for use in the cooler temps. I would have thought an item made for camping would be perfect. WRONG. Read the negatives and you'll find out just how cheap it is. I didn't and my bad. I gave two stars for not liking but it well work in one month out of two. In MT, ID, WY, CO and even WA you can expect cold temperatures even in the summer let alone YEAR round.
