I have 100m in the garden for about 1 month in use. The hose is good and does the job. However, I have an older tube, which also with 1/2 inch is strangely thick and also better in the connectors stops as these. Probably the wall is thinner (habs not measured it). Resistant to kinking and torsion free is relative! At 2 bar water pressure it happened but before that the "Afterwards pull" a kink arises mostly when doing also is cast and thus the pressure in the hose falls further. .............................. So, as promised another additional once more pressure in the tube is. Now have my pump renewed and now a relatively constant pressure betw. 3-4 bar on my system. This pressure is not kink or twist more determine. However, I would not want to run the hose through this pressure.
