Non-kink potable water hose?

This post is in response to Gobirds38's post yesterday about the Zero G water hose.
I don't want to hijack his thread so . . . . . .

After our last trip (6 weeks / 17 states) I decided that I have had it with wrestling the old white water hose. Stiff and kinky and time consuming. So I began researching non-kink potable water hoses. There seems to be only a handful of brands and they all get mixed reviews. Hard time deciding (the comments about the Zero G's taste issues is helpful).

Is there a good, non-kink, easy to use potable water hose?

Another question, I suppose, what creative ways have others come up with to easily roll up and store their hose?

I too gave up on the white hoses. After a member recommended it I ordered this one;

It is very flexible and has worked well for us. We just roll it up and put it in a clear plastic tote along with our other fresh water "stuff".

I'm curious how good the AquaJoe hose is.

I have the Camco Evoflex (similar to the link above) and it doesn't kink up. I haven't used it in cold weather but it has been awesome so far.

Aaron I think I saw that Camco hose next to this one (the one I linked) on Amazon when I bought it. As far as cold weather I've used mine in weather that stayed upper 20s overnight and it was still nice and flexible. I know that's not COLD weather (which I don't intend to camp in anymore) but it was at least below freezing. If the Camco is anything like mine, and I suspect it is, it should be just fine.

I bought a short black hose intending to use it for a black tank flusher. It is almost a big a PITA as the white hoses. This one is made sorta flat with seams. The seams keep it from rolling up easy like ZeroG.
Buyer beware.

Most of the hoses I find are easily kinked. The blue ones from Camco aren't bad, but still kind of stiff. I've been buying shorter hoses and connect them rather than use a long one. It's easier to roll the short ones and keep them from kinking. As long as I keep the ends in good shape and have a gasket, I've not noticed any leaking to speak of.
