The Gilmour Flexogen is the original American-made heavy-duty garden hose — eight-layer reinforced construction that resists kinking, holds pressure without ballooning, and stays flexible in cold weather when cheaper hoses turn into stiff coils. Gilmour has made Flexogen hose in the United States for decades, and the 5/8-inch diameter is the contractor-grade size.
The 100-foot length is the full-yard coverage size — reaches the far corner of most residential lots, covers a big garden, or handles light commercial watering. The crush-proof aluminum couplings don’t bend when a mower rolls over them, and the hose lays flat when pressurized instead of twisting up on itself.
Gilmour manufactures Flexogen hose in the United States under the parent Robert Bosch / Fiskars brand family. The Flexogen line is the American-made premium hose distinct from Gilmour’s imported value line.
