Pocket Hose Ultra. We’ve all seen the ads and thought the concept was pretty cool. But does it work? Turns out this handy little hose does hold up to its promise of delivering a portable pocket solution.
Featuring a heavy-duty double layer construction, the inner section of the Pocket Hose Ultra uses the same technology as a fire hose, expanding with the water pressure, while the durable outer lining protects the hose from rips, tears, ruptures and holes. Pocket Hose Ultra features both an upgraded amber tip for leak free connections and a unique Solar Stripe Shield which protects the hose from damaging UV rays, ultimately extending the life of the hose.
Its great for connecting up to rain barrels and though we happen to love it in the garden, it’s also a fabulous tool to have for camping and boating.
