To Hozelock, or not to Hozelock

I went for the Ultraflex hose in the end, which seems brilliant so far, no kinks or danger of crushing, and when I wind it up (over my arm) it wants to stay straight. I paid about £25 and it's longer than I need, but it has a 20yr guarantee, so I feel like I don't have to worry about a hose for a long time!

 

I use Tricoflex which is Hozelock.

Gets thrown about and has been great but it’s a pretty stiff hose but not had it kink once so far.
