Someone said today "You never see a farmer on a bike, do you?" and laughed....

Make sure there decent quality richard as well as you want em to last ???

Also they have to be flexable when your rolling them up..

As Clinton says flexability to coil easily is important.
And be careful they dont "shrink" to half their length when on strong suction. - them with springs in might do that.

Richard,
I know someone who bought something similar and came to bitterly regret it when he found out it collapsed when it gets warm.  :'(

You could probably get away with any type of hose with a portable. :D

Do any of the 'proper' hoses have codes on them anywhere? Then you could get the exact same.

I have tried my local hydraulic hose place,to see if they could supply the hose,stuff on my prochem machine is non marking,as i am sure most of the other machines use,place said they couldn`t find a supplier !
BNut after reading this it wouldn`t need to be non marking ,say if you had 50 odd foot for inside the property,will go back and see them again,they do the fittings as they have done repairs for me in the past
