Title: Gardiners green versus Exceed blue hose?
Post by: Dave Willis on April 21, 2019, 10:51:59 am: Are they similar or is one softer than the other?

Post by: PHILIP HARDY on April 21, 2019, 11:23:50 am: I have used both and just prefer the Exceed Blue it is just a little more managable, I actually think what you get now is a different hose to the original, The both have little stretch and are very tough, the difference ofcourse is in the price, if your budget allows the Exceed then go for that, the Gardiner Green is a fair bit cheaper so has that benefit. Looking at overall bang for your buck they are both very good hose's.

They are both decent, but imo, the Exceed is better overall.

Whats the advantage of PU hose over say gardiners all season hose ?

Post by: Dave Willis on April 24, 2019, 07:00:38 am: If it’s similar to Exceeds blue then there’s no need for the barbed inserts in any pushfit connections and it’s so much tougher.
