This hose is pretty.  It is also extremely light.  The 30-foot (10 metres) model stretches to 100 feet (30 metres) in use.  The rubber hose is inside an expandable fabric sleeve and must be filled with water before using it.  I love to watch the hose come to life like a snake and stretch out until all the wrinkles have disappeared from the fabric sleeve. The nozzle offers eight different types of flow.  Switching from one to the other is easy and there is only minimal leakage from the connector.  Once your watering is finished, it is necessary to let the hose expel all the water before storing it. Lock the head open with the metal clip and turn off the water tap.  The hose will force all the water out and shrink back to its original wrinkly state. A dream to fold away, it does not twist, it can be coiled neatly and hung on the smallest holder as it is so lightweight.  Watering with it is a pleasure - no drag at all.  Perfect choice for a terrace, or a small garden.
