I really like this garden hose for several reasons. It's very lightweight and easy to handle. A standard hose of this length is heavy and cumbersome. Once it is stretched out and used for the first time, it is kink-free. The orange jacket makes it easy to see so that it's not so much of a trip hazard or risk of being run over. The connectors are well-machined and so far have mated up with any attachment I have used. 

I used to use the lightweight "pocket hoses" but they don't hold up for long and the connectors usually weren't of the best quality. I'm confident this hose is going to last a while if I take care of it.
