I bought this based on it's "kinkless" design. It is a well made hose, light, and has good brass fittings. But it will kink, but the kink does not stay permanently or appear to damage the hose in any way. I guess it's a matter of what the word means. We live in the southwest, and the hose is exposed to lots of solar radiation. This Apex hose replaces a 15 year old Swan, that still had a sound jacket, but was essentially collapsed from multiple kinks. We hope it holds up as long as the Swan did, but do..
