Will it be stored in the sun?

I have one of those expandable hoses and it works great, but I take it off and store in my shed after using it. I don't know how it would stand up to sunlight

I have a heavy duty octagon shaped one from Ace Hardware that has been fantastic but I cant find it on the site.

Don’t know if any are 100% kink free but I’ve had very good success with minimal kinking with Flexzilla hoses.

I guess my hose is a hexagon, not an octagon. Here is a similar hose:

Do not get the Goodyear yellow hose/blue stripe that says "designed not to kink." I have never had a hose that kinks so much. I put it in the shed to never come back out.

I like the hoses made from automobile quality hose.

Hoses that kink as you set them out drive me insane.

100% recommend. Way better than the trash hoses at HD and lowes and less expensive than eley.

They get a little slimy if left on the ground but otherwise pretty good at not kinking.

A suction-rated hose from an actual hose store. They are stiff but absolutely will not kink and will last forever.

If you mean the plastic ones that actually reel in the hose, no. You can coil them up and hang them, but they're far too stiff for a reel

I use the Continental/Goodyear hoses that have the swivtech ends on them. The hoses are thick and are 5/8 or 3/4 in diameter. They cost some coin but are worth it and last far longer than other hoses. I've had one for 10 years now and another for 4 and they don't kink.

Here is an example: Swivtech hose

You are not going to find these in big box stores. I've only seen them online.

Black Craftsmen Premium Rubber Hose. Has been the best hose I have ever owned. I have replaced all of the other hoses at my house after using this one.
