Does anyone have a preference for the either of the above.

I need a couple of new hoses in the new year and was curious as to what other folk use.

I'm a microbore kind-of-a-guy 
It's easy enough to handle, not as heavy or cumbersome as mini. Good enough flow and capacity.

Hi, am thinking of going microbore soon, when my mini finally gives way, but what's it like for kinking does it handle being run over by traffic ok does it freeze up on the ground, don't get too many of these issues with minibore but want to make my working day as easy as possible.thanks and happy new year to everyone on here.

i use both. minibore in autumn/winter and microbore in spring/summer.

the minibore is heavier but excellent with hot water(thermobore plus red hose)

the standard yellow microbore is really light and managable.perfect during the warmer months with cold water.
