Better than a traditional garden hose….it’s lightweight, compact, and expandable, with a powerful spray and a kink-free design. The secret is in its reinforced high-grade drag resistant DAC-5 polyester outer layer which is specially woven to make it tougher and stronger than ever! The solid brass fittings and superior strain relief collar are crush resistant while the thick, specially formulated latex inner layer expands to produce more velocity and higher pressure. Plus, it expands and contracts when water is turned off for easy maneuverability and storage.
