I have the grippatank 6mm microbore which I believe is the same as gardiners microbore. Never had a kink in it.

Gardiners microbore has never kinked on any of our 6 reels been using it for years

The green hose Gardiner sells is pole hose not microbore main hose, I currently using Water Genie Hose   it has kinked the odd time in the last 5 months or so in use but feels almost twice as light as Gardiner hose and makes a difference in reeling in and using on a daily basis.

Pole hose isn't at all suitable to used as your main wfp hose as it simply isn't durable enough

I’ve used Gardiner’s all season yellow hose, as my main wfp hose, for years. 100m of it, on the pure freedom reel master.

Very durable and have only had one occasion where it was pierced by a thorn bush.

I've got Window Cleaning warehouse hose on my reel, never had an issue. I did have reel from the full clean centre which kinked constantly, so wouldn't recommend that.

I've been using 6mm Streamline hose for six years. Still on the original, heated water for the past three or so years. Can't fault it, but I can't compare either as it's the only one I've used.

I have 5mm on my pole

what do you suggest I have on my reel  

many one use a 6mm microflex hose on a reel 

or is microbore the best

Sorry, just realised I hadn't put the size on my post. I've edited it in, 6mm microbore. I don't know whether microflex is different or it's just another name for the same hose. I'm confident one of the good folk on here will have the answer when they finish work. ?
