If you’re looking for a really manageable garden hose, this is a great alternative to a standard PVC hose. It has a PVC core with a hardwearing textile fabric outer, and is both more flexible and noticeably lighter (weighing up to 50% less) than conventional hose.

The fabric makes it comfortable and secure to grip, and you can easily guide it around obstacles in the garden and it won’t kink or tangle. The elasticity means you can roll it up neatly to save space and keep it on a shelf in the shed or garage. It’s UV and frost proof too, so you can store it outside if need be.

The hose is manufactured to last with a 22 bar burst pressure and comes backed up by a 15-year warranty (registration required). Includes spray nozzle and 2 x tap connectors (one with a reducing joint to make it compatible with three different tap sizes).
