Plastic Sheath too Stiff

The rope functions OK. The plastic sheath is too stiff. Thus the rope is difficult to coil tightly when bringing it back on the boat, and won't stay coiled tightly without its strap. This is a huge inconvenience when only pulling the rope back in between riders or during swim break. Within 1 year's use the plastic sheath has also broken in several sections, although I will note the underlying rope seems undamaged. I don't like it, and I've already replaced it. Its now relegated to my backup rope. Handle is fine, and I'm using it with my new rope.
