Product review (4 stars): Well made, but I'm skeptical that they're much better than regular rubber hoses
These hoses are well made, but I'm skeptical of what additional protection is achieved by the braiding. I can't really tell without cutting it and looking at a cross section, but these hoses look like they're probably just a plain ordinary rubber hose with a nylon braid around the outside. It doesn't look like the braid is bonded to the hose in any significant manner, it's just a sleeve. It does afford some degree of abrasion resistance, but is it really going to offer any additional protection against rupture from fatigue? Who knows. I promise I'll post if the thing ever ruptures, and complain quite loudly about it.

I figure, at the very least it's no worse than a plain ordinary rubber hose, and there's a good chance that it's actually better in some way.
