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?

Hi,
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.
