Here's the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016J45T1K

It's been good for the past 4-5 years and it's Polyurethane rather than rubber, but drinking water safe 🤷‍♂️

I wonder how good this Continental Pathfinder ECO Green Garden Hose is. What's a plant-based polymer? Eco-friendly/clean? https://www.amazon.com/Continental-Pathfinder-Garden-Hose-Female/dp/B08H6PGQ62?th=1
