This is my second hose from Flexogen. After having many that kink over the years, this one does not. Too often I spent more time fixing the kink to allow water to flow, than I did actually watering the garden. The only caution is that because of the plys, it is a bit heavier than the cheaper hoses. It's worth it.
I have used this product for many years because it stands up to the hard use that we give it in the Town of Front Royal, VA. It stands up to dragging on concrete, being run over and being hooked up and unhooked many times.
To whom it may concern I have now purchased four(4)FLEXOGENS all still in perfect working order ( i believe three from AM Leonard) and they are fantastic , hands down the best hose I have ever purchased . Over the past 30 ++ years I can not even remember exactly ( nor do I particularly want to ) how many different hoses I have purchased but, it has to be dozens upon dozens . Few things are as frustrating as when something as simple as a hose --- FAILS The FLEXOGEN product is obviously well engineered /designed and equally well constructed. The level of product satisfaction associated with this hose is extermely HIGH.
