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 have a black hose from Sears and it's way better than any of the green
hoses I've owned. I also have a SideWinder hose reel. This combination
works for me. You still have to make sure you don't kink the hose, but it's
a small problem instead of a big problem.
