Since I live, in my estimation, the coldest place in the entire known universe, I am really happy with the hose. I guess the only thing that doesn't fit just right is the foot area, which is too long...maybe they were expecting a few laundry foul ups? The size read 10-11. I am a 10 1/2. I guess I do not know, but are Canadian foot measurements different than US?
Nah, I'm from the coldest place in the known universe, Duluth, Minnesota. It's built on a rock face on a hill and the storms hit it with a vengence, I haven't lived there for quite a few years but I remember the water pipes feezing and breaking in the middle of the night. Our usual wake up call was usually the big ice breakers plowing a path through the ice on Lake Superior for the ore boats that was louder than an alarm clock!
Of course if the truth were known I'd have to say that the absolute coldest winter I ever experienced was one summer night in my ex-wife's bed. In California no less.
