I’ve always used the heavy plastic hoses that kinks and after using Xhose Pro Dac-5 100 ft. Garden Hose in my yard daily, I love how strong the DAC-5 fiber is with a triple layer construction  and is very lightweight and easy to carry around, doesn’t kink, expands while using the hose and contracts itself when not in use which was very handy during storing until the next use. I like that the crush resistant brass fittings are durable, have a built in stabilizing collar and o rings inside the fittings which made attaching to the water spigot tight without any leaking. I highly recommend this hose for all outdoor water purposes from gardening, pressure washing to filling up the pool!
