Better than expandable, fabric and even standard garden hoses. The Gilmour AquaArmor Lightweight Hose is designed for the ultimate lightweight experience. Revolutionary, patent-pending technology makes this hose 50% lighter than standard hoses and up to 10x longer-lasting than expandable hoses. A proprietary material allows it to unkink itself and its smooth cover glides over rough surfaces without snagging or tearing. Industrial-strength internal coils offer kink protection at ends and patented, crush-proof couplings are ergonomically designed for easy on/off at the spigot. Coiling flat for storage, the AquaArmor Lightweight Hose becomes round for maximum flow during use and it's compatible with all nozzles and sprinklers, as well as pressure washers (follow manufacturer's instructions).
