I've always had good success with these hoses. They are well reinforced and don't kink as much as others I've tried. We use them permanently on a liveaboard boat. I use 25' sections and invariably have to replace the hoses every two years or so regardless of how much I pay for them due to dirt and sun degradation. I've never had one of these leak before I replaced it in the 15 years I've been using them.
