Default Water hose blew

My water hose busted. It was the one very soft and easy to hook up. To replace, the only ones that is found is stiff, not easy to hook up or roll up. Where do I find one to my liking? Thanks for your information.

Kinda funny what we become attache to isn't it? Kinda like a favorite pair of old shoes you just can't make yourself throw away.

You may find one at a good hardware store. However, in my experience, the better, more flexible hoses are the higher priced hoses. I have never had a cheap hose that was very flexible even in the summer let alone in colder weather. This is one of those times that more expensive is better and you will pay for what you get.

What ever way you go use a pressure regulator at the spigot.

The softer and more pliable the hose the more likely to burst so I guess I'd ask which feature means most to you, durability or easy to handle?
