Our premium Pocket Hose Ballistic starts compact, expands up to 3X into a full-size 3/4-inch hose when water flows, and shrinks back down for quick, space-saving storage when you’re done. Designed for tougher jobs and longer-lasting performance, Ballistic features an anti-burst sleeve reinforced with a Liquid Crystal Polymer strand used in ballistic protective applications, plus double UV protection to help shield the hose from sun exposure. The 360° Pocket Pivot swivel connector helps reduce twists and kinks at the spigot, while the 3-layer latex core, re-engineered thicker washers, stronger APT connector protectors, and leak-resistant details help support lasting performance. Lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle, our Premium Pocket Hose Ballistic makes watering easier without the bulk and frustration of traditional hoses. Note: “Bulletproof” refers to the reinforcement fiber used in ballistic protective applications; the hose itself is not intended to stop bullets. IMPORTANT USE & PERFORMANCE NOTES **5X claim refers to Vectran strand only, not entire hose or equal thickness. Disconnect sprinklers after water off—hose may retract
