Has anyone ever bought a no-kink hose?

I am so tired of my hoses getting a snag and I have to walk back and un-kink it. We are so dry here in SE PA. I have been watering just to keep my plants alive. I have trees I need to plant but we haven’t had measurable rain in 4 weeks, with nothing forecast in the next 10 days. Fall is tree planting but it’s just not good right now 😟😑.
Anyway, a brand or type of hose suggestion is much appreciated!

Online. Best hose I ever had. It shrinks up when there is no water flowing through it and expands as the water is turned on. It's light as a feather and easy to roll up.

We've had it 2 years and it sure looks like next year will be no problem.

One hose looked like the end was chrome I bought two of those. I was going to disconnect them before a freeze and it wouldn’t come off. Even after trying wd-40. I had to cut off one with a dremel tool. Dissimilar metals don’t do well together. The other I was finally able to get off. I bought replacements both a brass end no problem with those.
