Pocket Hose Did It Again.
“I've been part of the Pocket Hose family for over a decade. With Ballistic they've outdone themselves. It's incredibly tough, surprisingly lightweight, and so easy to handle. I love my new hose.”

Why Ballistic exists
Every hose you've owned failed the same way.
Rubber hoses weigh a ton and kink until you fight them. Cheap expandable hoses burst in one summer. Ballistic was engineered against both, from the sleeve to the spigot.
The old way
Heavy. Kinked. Leaking by August.
A 50 ft rubber hose weighs around 11 lbs before the water is in it. It creases at the spigot, drags across the lawn, and lives on a reel you have to crank. The cheap expandable knock-offs fixed the weight and traded it for a thin latex tube that pinholes, plastic fittings that crack, and a jacket that chalks in the sun.

The Ballistic way
Light. Kink-free. Ballistic armored toughness.
An anti-burst sleeve woven with a liquid-crystal polymer strand, the same material class as body armor, 5× stronger than steel by weight.** Three layers of high-strength latex inside. Copper-infused, lead-free connectors with reinforced APT collars. A UV coat outside. And the 360° Pocket Pivot so nothing creases where the hose meets the tap.

How it works
Turn the water on. Watch it grow.
A Pocket Hose stores at about a third of its working length. Open the tap and water pressure expands it to a full-size, full-power hose, with nothing to unreel.
01 · Turn it on
It grows 3× in seconds.
Water pressure does the work. 17 ft in the drawer becomes a full 50 ft power hose before you reach the far end of the driveway.
02 · Water anything
Ten patterns, one thumb.
Jet for the driveway, mist for a gentle rinse, shower for the dog. The Thumb Drive dial switches without letting go of the handle.
03 · Turn it off
It drains itself and shrinks back.
Open the nozzle, let it drain, and it contracts practically bone-dry to pocket size. Hang it on a hook or drop it in a drawer.

“Lightweight, no kinks and not heavy to lift and carry.”
Can't speak to durability yet. Love that it's easy to lift and maneuver around the yard. Easy to expand and recoil when water is shut off. Lightweight, no kinks and not heavy to lift and carry. I have a 75ft and just picked up the 100ft.

“The Pocket Hose and nozzle sprayer are fantastic.”
The multi spray nozzle is great for washing our windows, hosing down our siding … and offers enough power to get the mold off our vinyl fencing. We highly recommend getting a Pocket Hose or 2 for your house!

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Will it burst?
Ballistic's anti-burst sleeve is woven with a liquid-crystal polymer strand 5× stronger than steel** by weight, over a three-layer latex core, and rated up to 650 PSI. That is far beyond what a household spigot produces. Like any hose, drain it and bring it in before a freeze.
Does it really reach 50 feet?
Yes. Every Pocket Hose expands to its full stated length under normal household water pressure. It stores at roughly a third of that length when the water is off, which is the whole point.
Will it kink at the spigot?
That's what the free Pocket Pivot solves. It swivels a full 360° where the hose meets the tap, so the hose never creases at its most vulnerable point.
Does it fit my spigot?
Yes. Standard outdoor faucet threads, the same as every outdoor faucet, nozzle and sprinkler in the U.S. The new paddle-grip connectors make it easier to tighten with wet hands or gloves.
Are the connectors lead-free?
Yes. The connectors are copper-infused and lead-free.
How do I store it for winter?
Turn the water off, open the nozzle to release pressure, let it drain and it shrinks back practically bone-dry. Hang it on a hook or drop it in a drawer indoors. No reel required.
What comes in the box?
Your Ballistic hose plus two free gifts: the 360° Pocket Pivot swivel connector and the 10-Pattern Spray Nozzle with Thumb Drive control. Multi-packs include one of each per hose.
What's the guarantee?
The 30-Day Ballistic Promise. If you're not completely thrilled, send it back within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price or a replacement, less shipping and handling.
Is this the real Pocket Hose?
Yes. pockethose.com is the official store of Pocket Hose® by Telebrands, protected by over 100 U.S. and worldwide patents, the same hose Richard Karn has demonstrated on TV since 2013.
