I ordered this hose back in December, but didn't open the package until February,  It came in a plastic bag, coiled of course, and when I took it out out of the bag and started straightening it, it split wide open in two places.  It had been stored at room temperature, and was at room temperature
when removed from the package.  I was careful with it, and did not bend it backwards.  I missed the window to return it, so am basically out of luck.  Sticking to solid rubber in the future!
