This is a very good garden hose.  This was a replacement for a supposed "heavy duty" hose I bought from a well-known big-box store that just didn't hold up.  That hose leaked and sprayed all over the place from the minute I brought it home and already started to kink and pinhole within a month.  This Gilmour hose doesn't leak a drop and hasn't kinked on me at all.  I'm pretty happy with this product and will look to buying all Gilmour hoses for my future needs.
