We live in New Mexico with high summer temperatures. Will this hose be up to being outside during the hot summer? In winter we can probably store it in the garage.

No problem, they are great here in Phoenix. Have them out all summer long in 110 degree temperaturesand sometimes higher. Best hoses I have ever owned. I have four of them and wouldn't have anything else.

I would not count on it not failing in higher heat. Per my review the seams of my hose failed after 19 months in San Jose Ca and I got soaked. I paid over $50 for the Tuff-Guard. I just purchased from Amazon a Briggs & Stratton 8BS50 50' HD rubber Garden Hose for just over $35. I used it for the first time today and it worked great. Seems to be heavier rubber than a rubber hose I purchased at a local store and returned. I would expect hot weather to take a toll on any hose but I would take my chances on the Briggs & Stratton. I will never buy another Tuff-Guard.

Our 2 hoses have been outside for the past 12 months in Denver, CO and have been fine. Truly the first hose not to kink!

Our hose is outside all year in the hot South Carolina heat with no problems. Very substantial, high quality hose.

We live in South Carolina and it can be very hot. Our hose has worked well, absolutely no problems. Be sure to not keep water on when not using the hose. Our winters are relatively mild, low was 8 degrees F last winter. Was outside all the time, no problems. Love this hose!

This has been the best hose we've EVER bought. Since we don't live in New Mexico, my guess would be that it would hold-up fine in the heat. It is ruggedly constructed an ours is still in perfect condition after a years use. I hope that helps.

Yes, should not be a problem. I do suggest keeping one end open so that water can drain while the hose heats up.

I would guess that it would probably do better than most other hoses. To get a better answer I would suggest you contact the company direct. We leave ours out all year and we live in So. Cal. We have fairly hot summers, 100+.

I have used it outdoors without any problem. I would not leave it out in the weather. I keep mine coiled up in a box on the patio. I have not seen anything wrong with this. I will take in inside when it gets cold.

I live in the Arizona desert and store the mower under a small tarp out doors. Heat is the major concern here where it can be 120 degrees in the shade and so far the mower has held up better than expected.

Hose flexibility is not affected by temp. At least not in above 0* F. I've stepped on the hose a few times and it has not bothered it. Not as flexible as I thought but very usable.

Temperature in my garage during the summer is well over 100 degrees, when parked outside in direct sunlight, it is hotter yet, I really do not think you will have a problem.

The instructions do say not to leave it outside. I have not joined hoses so cannot help with that question.

I keep mine outside but it is under cover of my overhang so it is not in the rain. Winter store it on garage and still use it when weather is nice

Ive had it outside through the summer heat and rain in Ohio and it has held up fine. The true test would be winter, although I have this lock on a storage compartment on a landscape trailer that I only use in warmer weather.

Is rated for 160 psi and 200 degrees F, I used with my pump at 60 psi and I have no problem. Also in winter work good, my pump was freezed and no leaks with this hose. By the way they sale it in Home depot.

It can be left hooked up over the spring, summer and fall seasons, however, like all hoses it must be unhooked for the winter. I live in the Midwest, you cannot leave hoses attached over the cold winters. The box stays outside, never gets weathered and has stayed in great condition.

i just got this hose because it was the highest customer satisfaction rating. so far, it has been great. I have yet to have it over the winter, but when it gets here, i will most likely store it in a bin. maybe the cold weather cracks the inner tubing. I did have the pocket hose, and it did burst, but not crack. I am thorough satisfied with this hose thus far.thank you

Mine is mounted inside my shed in my NH back yard. As I'm typing this it's -12 (F) out and it's working fine. My shed has seen temps past 100 degrees (higher internal temps) as well in the summers. I'd say it will work fine for you.

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

I have mine in my garage in Tampa. It is doing fine. The Temp is consistent and I have had no problems. Good luck

We live in Colorado, and while admittedly our winters are not as bad as yours, our hoses are exposed to alternately below zero weather and bright sunlight. We occasionally have to re-install a fitting where the hose has cracked. We never pick up the hoses.

Have NOT tried it in cold weather, hose has never kinked with regular use though. The whole system is good quality, so above freezing should be fine.

My house is housed in a metal hose container so it is not exposed to the direct sun. This hose is better than most bit it still kinks over time.
