Seems like Gilmour has been slowly diminishing the quality of their Flexogen line; they're not as kink-proof as they used to be.  Still better than all the others in the category (can't speak to the things that cost double and triple the price, as I don't feel like shucking out close to $100 to see if it makes a difference).  I'll be buying more of these, since I have a lot of yard to get around, and this continues to be my first choice of hose.  It will kink, but it is, as its name suggests, very flexible, and never feels like I'm trying to wrestle a python when it's time to coil it back up.  I also like the neutral grey color; it doesn't stand out on the crushed gravel and flagstone walks surrounding planted areas and the driveway.
