    I'm looking to buy one of these. My one is burst in lots of places....I have the cart, it's just the hose I need
    Hoping to buy online (Ireland) but everywhere I look says "out of stock"
    There are some on Amazon but delivery is very pricey
    Any ideas?

    From recollection there are 2 types.

    Yellow and green. Green was lighter cheaper and kinked very easily which reduces water flow

    The yellow has a heavier wall, is more expensive but much better

    Yep the yellow one is far superior and doesn't kink . I bought mine about 12 yrs ago and generally haven't seen it in stores since. Only see the striped one and that is terrible for kinks.

    I have the misfortune of having the striped one and I can concur it is terrible for kinking. One of these days I will have to treat myself!

    Oh what a shame. I purchased one online from them only 2 weeks ago, perhaps try calling them? Very hard item to get, Argos have them listed for €60 but none in stock either. Great hose though, I’m very impressed with it.
