Can't get too excited about a hose, they all make you nuts till they get broke in a bit and get some sun to wear them down. We are in Colorado, so when the hose is cold it is till a monster to get rolled out. Plus the water temperature going through still is burrrrrrr.  Gonna give it some sun time and we will get along better.  I have purchases the Xhose & the Xhose expensive black version in hopes to have a good hose for the deck. DON"T get them!  They all explode and can hurt you like me!  Stay with this type. Safe & will last for years!!
