I have a 50 foot Sears Craftsman (Black, round, not the polygon,) that I bet I've had 25 years. I drain it and store it indoors in winter, but otherwise It's out in the weather all summer long, and it's still in great shape. Heavy and awkward to use, for sure.
I did notice that it was getting sort of soft at the hose bib end, so I fabbed up a strain relief device so that the tension when I'm yanking on it is linear, not angular, and it seems to be doing the trick.
