I've never found a no kink hose. The heavy rubber hoses are very durable, but so heavy, and very unwieldy, especially when dragging around plants.
And there are a few of the even very expensive ones that kink up.
The lighter hoses are masters of kinking and destroy the peace of gardening.
I have a bunch of 90' farm hoses that have worked out pretty well, but as they age they have developed some kinks. Always in the same places too.
The best hose I own is an old, old one that dh retired for use around the yard. It's a commercial rubber one that has to be at least 30 years old.
Not super thick and heavy, and it doesn't kink, but it's only 50' so it's just one in a chain of hoses out front for dragging to all the trees.
