IMO, rubber is the way to go (I have to drag several long hoses around
to water a large yard). The plastic ones get stiff as <insert favorite
analogy here> in the cold, kink easily and eventually crack. Rubber
isn't perfect; it can kink if you abuse it and will eventually
deteriorate, turning your hands black, but will work for a decade or
more and the fittings are usually more robust. Unfortunately, as the
plastic ones are so much cheaper--all some people care about--rubber
hoses are getting harder to find, but I've bought several Craftsmen
brand off Amazon over the years.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality garden hose
that won't kink and last more than a couple of years? I need to
replace one that was done at the end of last fall. I have one
that is a seafoam green color with the word "contractor"
imprinted on it, but I have been unable to find it online. I
bought it at Costco probably 15 years ago and it has been a
great hose.</div>
