Do the leads get really stiff in cold weather making them hard to handle?

yes they do they try to keep coiled up to the point of pulling the charger over when trying to hook to the battery

The main thing is to get a high-quality cord so it will stay flexible in the cold. I have a very stiff cord that's orange and black that is difficult in the snow, or an orange one that is quite soft/flexible, which makes a HUGE difference. Spring for a really good cord and you'll find it easy to flip out of the way, instead of having it constantly wrestling with you.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

Sorry - I don't live in a cold-weather area so don't know. Ask the manufacturer.

I've used the cord in sub freezing weather. It does become more rigid in cold temps. It's still pliable for rolling up or stretching out straight.

I haven't used them in cold weather yet, but here is a tip for you. Place fresh "Bounce" dryer sheets where the mice come in to keep them out. Mice are repelled by them. We had an issue with mice chewing the wires on our riding lawnmower. No more problems since we used the "Bounce". The mouse traps have pretty much got rid of our mouse problems in our home. They tend to work better if you put a little something in the middle for bait.

We have not had black ice here yet this winter to try them on. We have been using them along with Kahtoola microspikes depending on immediate hiking situations. They do well in snow and in areas with snow covered boulders.

I installed these just before the ground froze for winter. They took a little pressure to push in and seemed to back out slightly over the winter with the freeze/thaw cycle. To be honest, I'm nervous about removing my sand bags now that it's spring and the soil is loose. I'm not sure I trust them to hold. I bought two sets and have a 15' trampoline - two on every other leg.

Depends on how cold it is. I'm don't fish but I've found in my use they aren't very warm when the temps are in the 20's if I am not moving my hands. Also I would think it would be difficult to tie knots in fishing line with them. The grip surface isn't solid. They use glued on diamond shaped rubbery material. So handling slippery fish might be more difficult than with other gloves. I have seen neoprene fishing gloves at an outdoor sporting goods store. They had a solid rubbery palm and two fingertips than folded back so you could use bare fingertips for tying knots. Hope this helps.

Mine was very stiff at first and I was ready to send it back but I kept trying and it finally twisted and extend. I really like mine and used it a lot last winter.

Well the poles are arched and smooth but not real thick... As to snow? I would not recommend plus not very wind resistant either, mine lasted about one year then started falling apart! Hope this helps

yes i think that is what made them harden up. cold weather. i work in lawncare so they will be fine during the spring and summer months. i was doing some leaves this fall and one day it was kindof cold and they were pretty hard and i couldn't get them to go down into my ears. the next day it was warmer and they worked fine. i keep them in my truck outside though. maybe if you keep them inside you wouldn't have this problem. they work good just keep them warm. lol

Our winters in NY get pretty cold but rarely ever below 0. I have never had any problem with these mats getting brittle under any weather condition and they are great!

Mine has held up well and even left them out in the snow...been a rough winter and not much fade to them at all.

They are pretty stiff. I have been climbing steep hills with them. Skidding would be a little more stressful but I think they would be stiff enough.

JeffB is correct, the important word being "carefully". I had trouble because of being too rough with the leads, couldn't get them crimped tightly enough to hold.
