   That can be a problem in the colder regions like MD or VA, but not a   
   problem in warm places like CA or TX. I still have a few yellow coiled   
   hoses from my shop in CA. They last a long time if they're not abused by   
   dogs...

   That happens to humans too if you allow the end coil springs to work away,   
   allowing the plastic to square up and it will crack. If you're lucky   
   they'll leak enough to warn you before they go.
