ABSTRACT:
The present invention indicates excessive wear on the outer cover of a hose in order to help avoid unexpected ruptures and spills. The invention is a hose with an outer cover. The outer cover has two layers made of rubber or plastic. The outer cover has an inner layer of one color (e.g. yellow) and an outer layer of another color (e.g. black). When the outer cover wears down to expose color of the inner layer, the end user is made aware that outer cover wear is approaching the reinforcement layer and that the hose should be replaced.
