As a farmer, I'm picky about hoses. They need to be strong, flexible, not kink at the worst possible time, and easy to coil up. This hose fits the bill perfectly. We use it at the barn to fill animal water buckets on a nightly basis. No more hose sprawled across the barn floor - my daughter can put it away all by herself! Also, it seems like it will hold up to repeated use without springing a leak. All in all, satisfied.
