Don't waste your money. I bought two as did a neighbor. Within a week of normal garden hose use around the house, three of the four between us had split open. They will not hold normal pressure for any length of time.
Hey SML,
How ya doin' Partner? As far as those hoses are concerned, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE THEY'RE TO BE PURCHASED AND USED! Mine is a U.S. Forest Service Hose. It's completely nylon and can hold some serious pressure. It roles up to about 9-10" in diameter and when all stretched out, around 60' long. I've had some fairly decent pressure on that hose, around 75 psi and it held it without issue. We have a powered hose reel on our coach so, I never use it for water entry into the coach. It's used for washing and other applications.
You can find them at fire equipment supplies stores etc. Now, mind you, it's not going to be a "Walmart" price! In fact it will be probably around 4 times the Walmart price on one of those. I've had mine for years and it has never failed me. I forgot what I paid for it. But, if you want one that WILL hold up to the rigors of camping etc. I'd surely look for one of those. Good luck.
