This is the best hose I've ever owned.  Period.  After 10 years this thing is still going strong.  It's been outside during it's entire life.  Never stored inside even in winter.  It is relatively heavy but coils easily on my wall hanger.  No signs of giving up either.  I read where others had leaks at the fitting, etc.  They may have run over theirs or got a lemon.  But mine has outlasted every other hose in the neighborhood many times over.  I've even left it laying out in the yard with full pressure in it for months in the hot Texas summer heat without failure of any kind.  I'd buy this hose over and over again if I ever needed a new one.  It still has the original fittings, has never been patched in any way and just keeps on going year after year after year...I didn't know they make anything this good anymore.
