Exceptionally strong, durable, flexible, and lightweight, this Flexogen hose is built to last. Designed to withstand 500 PSI water pressure without bursting, its patented eight-layer, tire cord-reinforced construction provides outstanding strength and endurance. A special sealed compound--flexible even in the harshest cold weather--coats and protects the hose from rain, snow, mildew, cuts, and abrasions. The Flow Guard Plus collar keeps the hose extended and kink-free, so no matter how much you tug and stretch it, water flow is never interrupted. An O-ring seal prevents leaks, and crush-resistant, brass couplings keep their shape impeccably even after years of use. The hose also winds and stows easily. It even floats for trouble-free retrieval from pool or pond. Measuring a hefty, larger-than-standard 3/4 inches in diameter and 100 feet long, this sturdy garden tool is made in the USA, and comes backed by a full, lifetime-replacement guarantee.
Gilmour's Flexogen is the hose that has long set the standard for quality in garden hoses. Recognized by consumers and trade allike, it offers the ultimate in quality and value. It is the last hose you'll ever buy!
About the best you can get
I have a small farm and use lots of hoses. Of all I've tried, Gilmour hoses have been the best by far. They have superior, solid fittings; resist kinking the best (of hoses not specifically designed to avoid kinking); and have remained the most pliable with weathering. Best of all is Gilmour's lifetime warranty: should the hose ever fail to perform, just cut off the ends and send them to Gilmour and they'll send you a new hose. I've done this a couple times with no hassle. Other hoses want you to have saved the receipt, original packaging, etc. Who does that?
This really is "the last hose you'll ever buy."
Early review - will likely modify later.
Giving this 4 stars because I was pleased with an older version of this product from Gilmour. The Amazon description is correct, but the picture is wrong. It's the older 6-ply version. The new one, which I recieved today, is their latest 8-ply. Go to the manufacturer's website to read more about that if interested. My hose does not have the blue sleeve pictured in Amazon's pic. The 8-ply does not have a sleeve.
Looks to be a good product. Lifetime replacement guarantee. This hose is 1/8" larger than the typical 5/8" size you see in stores; and it is noticeably bigger. Looks like something you'd see at golf courses or in commercial settings.
The free shipping is quite a deal - $9.99 subtracted. Other garden hoses at Amazon, even some from same manufacturer, have shipping charges because it's done through a 2nd/3rd seller. So, I'd take advantage of this while you can!
Best Garden Hose on the Market
This is easily the best garden hose I've ever owned. Very flexible but strong, almost never kinks, I can see getting years of use out of this one. Also note that Amazon's pricing is about $30-40 less than you'll see in many catalogs carrying the same hose.
