I have two of the home depot variety "kink free" garden hoses. They
are far from kink free, in fact they kink all the time when you
stretch them out. When you roll them back up you have to keep
flipping the hose the right way so it won't kink.

However, I have a very old hose probably more than 15 years I found
in this garage and it never kinks. It does not kink because it does
not flatten not even a little bit. I think it's made of rubber. Are
those better hoses than the modern day vinyl hoses?

I remember admiring a Model A, and I asked the owner where he got
the replacement rubber, it was perfect. He said "Replacement, that's
original!".
I have a 1" rubber hose that would never think of kinking, of
course, this is a monster.

My guess is that thinner hoses will be more likely to kink, look for
substance, no matter what you get, if this is a concern.

Good point. I have 19mm (3/4in) and 12mm (1/2in) made of the same material,
the thinner kinks much more.
