Never thought I'd fall in love with a garden hose but this one is AWESOME! Lightweight, durable, strong all my favorite qualities. After lugging hoses around our acreage this will be a terrific change! The durable looking fabric outer layer looks like it may even hold up to our lab puppy grabbing hold of it. I'm most excited about the fact that it will be easy to pull around the year to water plants (the 7 year old may even be able to help). My husband loved the quality of the ends of the hose as it seems like our old ones were always getting stepped on and bent. Looks like this will easily store in a bucket and will be easy to toss into the back of our ATV for use all over the acreage. I like that it is weather resistant and I'm looking forward to putting it through a summer of hard work.  I could see us replacing all our hoses in the future with these.
