I've got microbore, the Gardiner orange thermobore http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/thermobore-100m-reinforced-hose-6mm-id.html
It works fine for me as I have an immersion and a water heater so run cold, warm and hot (50*), mostly use my immersion so have coldish - warm water. This hose has been great, will cope with it all. Saying that, I previously had the yellow Gardiner stuff and that was OK it the warm to hot water too. But I think the thermobore will last a bit longer.

Also, it is flexible and supple in cold as well as hot mode. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the orange hose tends to be a bit more grippy than the yellow, although, I think this wears off through use.

I use this hose for hot or cold all year round, I get it off these guys who I found on eBay a few year back.

this is what happened to my orange thermobore with hot water back in feb this year!

My thermobore was ok but went rock hard once the winter was over. Had to put a new reel of yellow on once the spring came.
