Hi there,
I use hoselock hosepipes and dont seem to have a problem with kinking i get the heavy duty form of the hose
Hozelock Ultra Tough Heavy Use Hose 30M/100 Ft - Whitehall Garden Centre Ltd which has lasted me around 10 years so far and still seems to be going strong (its coiled up on a wall mounted rack in the sunlight and doesnt seem to have been effected by this. A top tip i would say is use a hose gun on the end of the pipe turn it off at the gun and then at the tap so that you have the water pressure in the pipe and then wind up your pipe. It keeps everything kink free and once it is coiled you just let of the pressure into a nearby pot.

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?
