A brake hose is made by laminating an inner tube rubber layer, lower yarn
layer, intermediate rubber layer, upper yarn layer, and cover rubber
layer. The rubber material of the inner tube rubber layer and
intermediate rubber layer is a blend material in which 40 to 80 wt % is
IIR and the remainder is EPDM. The upper yarn is PVA, and the upper yarn
is PET, where the tensile strength per unit decitex is at least 6.5 g,
and the 2.7 g elongation is 2.6.+-.1%. The brake hose has better water
penetration resistance and can be produced by a general purpose method.
