Does this hose remain flexible in cold weather?

I am not sure how cold you are referring too. It is flexible down to 32 degrees but if water freezes in it then it is "as solid as ice."

no more than others, although it seems more heavy duty than the standard white drinking hose.

We have been down to freezing and it gets pretty stiff. It can still be moved around, but I would imagine it would be tough to coil it neatly.

I've had this unit for over a year, and while the hose does get warm, it seems to cause no problems. The unit works very well for us.

The hoses have standard rigidity to contain the high pressure. Using the machine in lower temps can increase the rigidity of the hoses and can make it seem as tho it is not ...

This is more pliable than most other hoses I have owned...it really depends upon the temperature in the air when you are trying to roll up the hose. When it's cold <40 degrees it can be a little squirrelly.

True for mine, too; but to be clear, it's not the sprayer so much as the hose. Because, I find that this is an issue only when the hose is quite cold or overly warm. I've gotten into the habit of guiding it back down with two hands (one on the hose, the other on the sprayer). Had this been a significant factor in my level of satisfaction, however, I suppose I would have spent a little more money to replace the hose with one that is less sensitive to temperature.

It is certainly not the hard rubber style of soaker hose that gets brittle and breaks. It is very flexible.

The rubber hose is much more pliable so it is easier to unroll and pull about, especially in cool and cold weather. In cold temperatures the plastic hose is very aggravating to handle.

Flexible - never run into a problem where it wasn't flexible enough. Seems similar to other hoses as best I recall.

I have the 50' GY, and it is a quality hose. I have also started using in the shop, the Kolbalt curled type hose, it is very flexible, even in cold weather, and has a Lifetime Warranty - under $15.00

I would say semi flexible. You can snake it about fairly well, though would need to stake it down for tighter curves. The important thing though about this stuff that they never tell you is it's only designed to be used in 15' runs. So it's not like you can roll it out for 100' like a soaker hose, though I have to say for years I did just that. Think if it's flat ground you can get away with longer runs.

This is a heavy duty rubber hose engineered to withstand extreme temperatures (from sub-zero to baking hot). As such, it is round, resistant to tangling, and not flat even without water. The hardware on each end is highest in quality.

They are certainly flexible enough to make a loop that is no more than one foot across. I have two of them snaked around and through bushes and plants that I can't water with sprinklers. These are true soaker hoses that sort of ooze water, not the flat hoses that have holes on just one side, and that are hard to keep flat where they are curved. It helps to place them while they are warm and therefore most flexible.

yes it does.....still get very decent water pressure and fits all standards hose attachments.....much lighter weight and so far been very pleased....stayed outside in MO last winter and we had coldest/longest winter in over 25 years....unhooked of course from faucet but held up fine not even put away. It does still tangle some....but much easier to heft around when watering and doesn't damage other things if it rolls over them like precious little plants because of it's light weight. I would definitely recommend and I might even buy one this year for in back of my house.

Honestly I am not sure since I have only used it in the Summer, but it is made for boats mostly I would think that yes it is weather resistant but that's my opinion. If you have a place to put it in severe cold weather or severe hot temperatures then I would put it somewhere safe in my case the shed if fine for winter. Hope this helped you. I do have to add it an extremely good hose does not kink. Thank God

Yes. My only concern, would be the supplied coil hose. If over stretched regularly, you'll need to upgrade to a sturdier /longer hose.

Not really. It does stretch out. It keeps its dexterity. Sometimes the coils can get tangled. But this is still a very good quality hose. Worth the money.

It stays flexible even when it is cold, I don't have mine on a hose reel, but I think it should work.
