What we like, what to know

What we like

  • +WORLD’S #1 EXPANDING HOSE — BACKED BY 100+ PATENTS: Pocket Hose Ballistic expands up to 3X into a full-power 3/4-inch hose, then shrinks back for compact, practically bone-dry storage. Lightweight, easy to handle, and built for everyday watering
  • +BALLISTIC-GRADE ANTI-BURST SLEEVE: Reinforced with a Liquid Crystal Polymer strand used in bulletproof applications that is 5X stronger than steel* for added durability during everyday dragging and tugging. *Strength-to-weight comparison vs. steel; refers to reinforcement strand only, not the entire hose; not equal thickness. Results may vary.
  • +POCKET PIVOT SWIVEL CONNECTOR: Swivels 360° at the spigot to help reduce twists, snags, and kinks while you move, helping maintain smoother water flow
