Nice hose, used it for a vent system in basement

Works great

I got two of these air ducts for my basement ventilation. My house has no Radon mitigation system, so I want to use a simple way to ventilate the basement. A window fan blows air out at one basement window, and fresh air comes in from another window. But the windows are too close to each other, so I have to use air ducts to let the fresh air to travel about 40ft to the other side of the basement so that the whole space is sufficiently ventilated. I connected two ducts to reach the length. I used hanging straps to hang the duct to the ceiling wood so it's out of way. Now the radon detector shows the level fluctuates between 4 to 9 in the basement. Before ventilation, it reached 20 to 50! The living spaces upstairs has radon levels ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 most times, well below the 4.0 threshold. The side effects of the diy ventilation method is the lower basement temperature in winter (around 50 F) and higher humidity in summer (I run a dehumidifier in basement anyway, only that the electricity use is up). Back to the ducts, they are flexible, easy to expand and shrink in length, easy to install, the aluminum foil is thick. The price is reasonable.

Great product for price

While the vent hose itself is good quality and works well, my order did not include the retaining rings shown in the picture of the item. I did not complain to the vendor but probably should have.
