I got this Xhose Pro DAC-5 25 ft. Garden Hose . I tried my first and really got to appreciate the fact of lightweight and shrinkable. Loved it so much that I have 3 of them and don't have issues. If you use them in a non severe surrounding and operation, you will like it as much as me.I do drain it before storing and it is not out in the sun for extended periods. The connection has remained tight with frequent use.
