So is there actually a good pole hose for cold systems ? 
I've tried a few and to be honest I still have not found the perfect one for all year round use.
I couldn't get on with the Aquadaptor hose, Gardiners hose becomes really stiff in the cold and Sureclean Systems hose seems to be middle of the road.
So the Sureclean is what I use at the moment and although it does stiffen up slightly in the cold it is still useable.
