A hose for transporting carbon dioxide refrigerant has a wall formed by a plurality of layers, in which at least one metallic layer impermeable to carbon dioxide is positioned between a radially inner layer and a radially outer layer in its wall. The impermeable layer is a metallic layer formed by vapor deposition, or a laminated layer of at least one resin film and at least one metallic layer formed by vapor deposition. The hose is highly impermeable to carbon dioxide refrigerant, and maintains this impermeability with a high degree of reliability even when the hose is stretched.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A hose useful for transporting carbon dioxide refrigerant, having a wall comprising: a plurality of layers including at least one carbon-dioxide-impermeable metallic layer formed by vapor deposition in a manner to be held between a pair of thin resin films, the metallic layer being interposed between a radially inner layer and a radially outer layer of the plurality of layers.
