If you're looking for an all-purpose garden hose that's as strong as a heavy duty garden hose yet also incredibly lightweight and takes up less space for storage, the Element ULTRALite gardening hose is your answer. This ULTRALite water hose has a powerful 400+ PSI burst strength, as well as tough aircraft-grade-aluminum couplings that can withstand accidental damage and everyday wear and tear. It's also a lightweight hose for easy transport, and its ½-inch inside diameter makes it a more compact garden hose for rolling into a tighter coil. Element's ultra lightweight garden hose is made of a proprietary compound and features our exclusive Lay-Flat Technology, which allows the 50ft water hose to uncoil and lay flat as soon as first use, and to Snap Back Into Shape! to fight kinks as you drag it across the lawn. This provides not only additional durability, but also the highest achievement in garden hose flexibility and kink-resistance. For added kink-resistance, the ULTRALite compact hose includes our patented Hose Armour at the female coupling where it connects to the water source, which is an area of the hose that's especially prone to tugging and kinking. All told, Element's ULTRALite combines several important gardening hose characteristics into one remarkably versatile hose that's outstanding for just about any watering task.
