Flexzilla Garden Hose 50 ft

Overview

A 50 foot, 5/8 inch all-weather garden hose built from a flexible hybrid polymer instead of rubber. It stays soft and kink-free in both summer heat and cold storage, and coils down small enough for a wall hook or bucket. Suited to anyone watering a mid-size yard who is tired of wrestling a stiff rubber hose.

Most garden hoses stiffen in the cold or kink the moment they are dragged around a corner; Flexzilla's hybrid polymer construction is built to avoid both. The tradeoff for that flexibility is a lighter-duty feel than a rubber hose, so it favors everyday watering over rough commercial use. Anodized aluminum fittings and an O-ring seal handle the spigot connection.

• 50 ft length at 5/8 inch diameter
• Hybrid polymer body resists kinking
• Anodized aluminum fittings
• O-ring seal at the spigot connection

Who it's for

Homeowners and renters watering lawns, gardens, or container plants who want a hose light enough to carry one-handed and that will not hold a kink after being coiled. Less suited to buyers who want the heft and abrasion resistance of a traditional rubber hose.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The hybrid polymer body has no coiled memory, so it lies flat right out of the box instead of fighting its own shape, and that flatness is what keeps it from kinking when dragged around beds or furniture. Crush-resistant aircraft aluminum fittings pair with an O-ring at the spigot end to keep the connection from weeping under normal household water pressure.
