    Washing Hose -

    Gilmour Flexogen - is one world's leading manufacturers of hoses and the
    Flexogen is one of the best hoses that has ever made. This 50ft hose has been engineered to endure extreme conditions so it's the last hose you'll ever have to buy and is backed by a full lifetime replacement (see details below). The 8 ply construction and double tire cord reinforced materials provides extraordinary strength and resistance to leaks and breaks. The 500psi burst strength ensures you'll never have to worry about too much or not enough pressure.

    The Flow Guard Plus protective collar prevents any kind of kinks near the source of water supply and the hose's natural strength is extremely resistant to kinking. The hose is polished so it's resistant to stains, abrasions, mildew, etc. The high flow brass couplings and built in washer provides a tight connection and completes this hose so you know you got a top quality product from end to end

    I like my Ace No Kink hexagonal hose. It has a life time warranty.

    I've tried, left, and seem to keep coming back to the Craftsman rubber hoses.

    I have a no kink hose and I absolutely hate it at times... When it does kink you can't just whip the hose to release the kink you have to go and undo it. Pain in the arse... What I do now though to minimize kinking is lay the hose out before so it is long enough to go around the car without kinking instead of leaving it in a coil. It is less prone to kinking unless you are on a return trip around the car then you have to watch it :GRRRRR:

    But I may look into the GY hose :)

    The worst hose you can buy are the Sears one. TERRIBLE.

    I currently have a Good Year and I have been very pleased with it.

    love the goodyear rubber one black or red both work well. ever see how much a hose weighs with water in it? mind boggling. look up rapid reel and read all about it.

    I have been using my black goodyear hose for about 5 years now and its left outside however i do have it in one of those automatic reels . The automatic reel works great when putting away but somtimes tough to pull out . 1 click and it does reel up all by itself + pulls all the water out of it .

    YES! I freaking hate that. "Never-Kink" my foot. With the rubber hose, as you said, you can just whip it and the kink nearly always comes free. I also find that the rubber hoses wind onto a reel much more easily than the no-kink hoses.
