Gardiners are bringing out some new hose, take a look, sounds like very good stuff!


They also have some green pu hose on sale.

As far as I can see the new Gardiners stuff is pole hose, I'm after microbore recommendations really.
Thanks anyway

I use these in blue and the 6mm hose,find them the best I've used yet,a lot lighter and easy to reel in,you don't always get what you pay for,I've used others from bigger companies which cost a lot more but found this hose far superior than bigger brands out there.

I use this in our vans and it’s good with hot and cold water no kinking 

I think it’s good value

I bought this
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163323506804

So far it's excellent, no  kinking, really light
Long term, we'll see
Thanks for the recommendations, I originally got the suggestion from Smudger, so, thanks
