Early Hose pipes were made of Rubber - and were very heavy hence they cannot be used easily and their life too was very limited as they got easily damaged due to rough handling. The damages are also could not be repaired easily. Above all not many types of fittings for the Rubber Hose Pipes were available curtailing the uses of the Rubber Hose Pipes. Nowadays the Hose Pipes are made of Plastic or Vinyl material that is very light Weight but they can be handled very easily.
