Thank you for the recommendations, I have been looking for a good kink resistant hose for quite some time. Just to be clear though, you are talking about the "Mean Green" hoses and not the Coiled, rubber or Gatorhyde, correct? I am sure the rubber is quite heavy and the Gatorhyde seems to be out of stock, so the only ones left are the Mean Green and the Coiled hose.
