Three specifications decide whether a hose is pleasant to use: diameter, length and material. Five-eighths of an inch is the residential standard; half-inch is lighter but loses noticeable pressure past fifty feet; three-quarter inch is for long runs and high-flow sprinklers.

Buy the length you need rather than the longest available — every extra foot is friction loss, weight and one more thing to coil.

Rubber stays flexible in cold weather and resists kinking; vinyl is cheaper and stiffens up; hybrid polymer sits between the two and lies flat. If the hose will fill a paddling pool or a pet bowl, look for one the manufacturer labels as drinking-water safe.
