A hose includes an inner polymeric tube (12) which has a relatively hard outer surface, a tightly packed wire reinforcement (16, 20) e.g. braid or spiral, telescoped over the tube (12), and an expanded polymeric cushion matrix (14, 18) encapsulating at least a portion of the strands of the reinforcement (16, 20) and also promoting wire-to-wire and tube-to-wire adhesion. |
