This is one where I should have listened to the other reviewers.  I liked the idea of a premium hose made in the USA.  Unfortunately, after sitting out less than a month it started developing bubbles with pinhole leaks.  Due to the nature of the material, you can not just tape them up as with a rubber hose.  The black rubber Craftsman this replaced lasted me a good 10 years.  I should have sent this one back.
