I can't speak for its longevity but I bought a 100ft Flexzilla hose 
about 4 years ago.  It's easily the most flexible garden hose I've ever 
used, even when pressurized. It's not kink-proof but kinks...almost 
don't matter?  When my other two hoses kink I have to stop what I'm 
doing, walk over to the kink and manually untwist it.  But this hose is 
flexible enough that I just need to "flick" it like a whip and the kink 
usually undoes itself.

I'm really tempted to buy one of those 4000psi Flexzilla pressure washer 
hoses this year.  I loathe having to wrestle with my current pressure 
washer hose...
