Gilmour Flexogen 5/8 in x 50 ft Garden Hose, Heavy Duty Water Hose, Flexible and Kink Resistant Outdoor Hose, Gray

Finally a nice quality brass connector hose that doesn't kink at all. This is the hose I should've gotten a while ago. I tried the flexilla hose and my god that thing kinked really badly! Color is much better as well. It curls up nicely, is light and doesn't show any leakage. It much also a much better value for money as its cheaper than most others.

I have a number of this exact Gilmour hose in different lengths. Currently maybe six or seven dispursed over two properties. They have been one of the very best hoses that I have owned over my many years. I have not experienced any of the issues that other reviewers have complained about. Most are left outside year round exposed to summer sun and freezing winter temperatures. I make sure to disconnect the hoses during freezing weather. I unwind and then rewind my hoses as I am using them. This process has worked well for me and has resulted in being very satisfied with this hose. If you just grab a wound up hose and yank on it maybe this isn't the product for you. Gilmour's professional grade might meet your expectations. They only cost about three times as much. Are these the perfect hose, nope, not even close. I'm pretty sure you won't find the perfect hose at this price point. You can always keep trying by buying a budget friendly product, abuse it and then leave a critical review. Good luck with that!

Kinking is very minimal. Love the brass fittings. No leaks. Has held up quite well.

Perfect length and wight to easily carry, roll, and throw it out without kinking (if you roll it correctly). No leaks, tight fitting, not heavy but the material still seems to be able to be pulled over rocks, sticks, and around brick corners without the worry of it getting torn or damaged. My second favorite hose outside of gilmours pro redish super heavy hose but it's not as easy to maintain and is much stiffer. Good value and surprisingly cheaper than buying from the local hardware or big box store sadly.

I've used a number of Gilmour hoses in the past, and I've been pretty satisfied. This one, though, blew my mind. I just hooked it up for the first time today. As soon as it was pressurized, bubbles were forming along the length of the hose. Within five minutes of use, a 2" gash blew out of the side about 6 inches from the nozzle end I have pretty good pressure where I'm at, but not anywhere near enough to blow out a hose in five minutes. Normally a hose lasts me a year or two, and that's sitting in very hot NM sun. (In case anyone is interested, no, it was not stored out in the sun prior to use. It has been in the shade until today.) To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. I'm outside the return window, so I guess I'm just gonna have to eat the cost. Perhaps I just got one of bad batch, but I'll be thinking twice before buying Gilmour again.

Last june or July of 2025 I had a garden hose failure. I tried emailing the company and phoning the company with no results. Finely in November when I was sending out Christmas gifts I decided to cut both ends of the hose and also include a hand sprayer that has split and send them to the company hoping that the right person will send me new one's as They're both a lifetime guarantee. With spring now here, The last week of march I decided I have three custom made garden hoses made for me with solid Brass ends because I've given up on ever receiving a new hoseAnd had really forgotten about them . Today, April 2nd FedEx delivered a large box which had my new hose and the new sprayer head. I just wanna know why it took five months and you're unable to talk to anyone. Once you file a claim they do not want you to file another claim because that'll slow things down which I didn't. Now I have enough hose to go around my house twice. I am very happy but lifetime guarantee isn't worth the paper it's written onOr at least it takes five months .

I bought flexogen because of the name and previous hoses had good performance, this one seems to be very well made, and I expect long life out of it. Good brass ends, and flexible and warm weather.

Not very flexible. Stout but stiff.

Great constructed hose & well worth the extra cost above other hoses on the market for the same length of 50 feet. I watched a professional no nonsense right to the point market analysis which included this Gilmour hose. Eight hoses were tested through their paces. Gilmour came out on the top two for: construction, kinkage, burst factor & cost value. Finally... I found a great constructed garden hose that I'm positive, I will not have to replace every two years. Thank you Gilmour!!

I wish I has a dollar for every time I've bought 'the last hose you will ever need'. This Is the only brand/model I buy now. It is reasonably flexible, doesn't kink easily, doesn't weigh a ton, is strong, has very good fittings, and is fairly priced. The best all around choice I know of. And it's made in the USA (I think). But beware. There are others out there who use a deceptively similar name, and they're crap. This one is Gilmour, Flexogen, 8-ply. Remember that!

Overall it's pretty good. Left it outside during this summer with multiple days of heat advisory and is holding up. Only con is that it is somewhat heavy and dragging it can be a small chore because it's not as flexible. But hopefully this means it'll last a longer time. Will update if anything goes wrong.

I really like this hose. Bought another one at Home Hardware 50% off sale. I usually have bad luck with hoses, but this one is great for not tangling, easy to roll up. The "no agro" is worth it in itself. Can you believe people are still buying the "self expanding and contracting" hoses? They should be called Self Exploding Hoses. Ha!

Best hose ever! Bought one last year for my backyard so I give this another go for my garage and quality is just as high and I simply love it.
