Really nice heavy duty hose, this hose will last years and years even in the Arizona sun and heat. I would have giving a 5 star on this hose, but I was spoiled after using those flex hoses, pocket hoses etc. but those hoses are worthless and do not recommend these types of hoses to anybody. I am hoping Gilmour will perfect that type of hose and make a light weight flex hose that will last, I know Gilmour could do this and this company or any other company that could perfect that design would make these types of hoses obsolete.
