I don't think I'd use this because lots of dirt (sand and stuff) would get stuck in the grooves. I usually observe on paddocks and the like out in the country, and the sandy, grassy dirt combined with dew means I appreciate having smooth cables I can just hold a rag around while I coil them up.

A similar alternative might be 1/2" black poly retic trickle pipe, and manually cut a slit down the side yourself. That is smooth so could easily be wiped as rolling it up. But, it wouldn't coil as tight, probably about 1 - 1.5 foot diameter roll in the end.
