Are these durable under constant use in the sun? The typical ones I buy at the local stores tend to disintegrate in a short while in the weather and u

My husband uses them on his bike to hold his leathers, sweatshirts, etc. I would say like all they will break down eventually if left out in the weather all the time but these appear to be good quality ones. I have bought some that broke or wore out rather quickly but we have not had one of these break on use yet.

I have three in use right now on my patio and so far, so good. But it's only been a few weeks. I will have to report back after a few months to give you a true answer. The cords do seem sturdy.

I use them outside all the time, I have not had any problems they are holding up really well.

I've used mine for several months now and trust me when I say, we've put them to the test in so many ways. They do not shed, tear, or come apart in any way. We follow the washing instructions exactly and do not put them in the dryer (also no bleach) and they stand up remarkably well. I planned to order more after the current batch wears out, but I'm not sure when that will be since they stand up so very well.

They seem a LITTLE tougher than the store ones, or at least some of them. But I would not count on using them for more than a couple of seasons. Pat of the issue is that plastic breaks down in sunlight. Well if you raise plants in them ..unless you sre doing mushrooms, there is light.

I purchased mine in March of 2014 and so far they have held up fine. I do not use them on a daily basis however....

They may not last as long as something a little heavier. They may also discolor in the sun. We used them indoors under Poinsettias, they worked great.

They seem to be waterproof etc. I've had them outside all summer and fall. They aren't as bright now that the days are shorter.

They last quite awhile actually. I change mine out weekly, even though I never see more than minor wear on them.

They are well made; however, they only last me about a year before losing their stretchiness. We do not have the extreme heat, but do use them in rain, etc. a couple times a week. Ours are always outside in the elements.

I've had these in direct sun in Georgia with high humidity for 6 months (& 2 snowstorms) They still look brand new.

They seem to be very durable. Mine are sitting out in the weather and so far, so good.

I have used them outside in S Florida with ultra high humidity. They have been out there close to 6 months with no issues. Hope this helps.

I only use occasionally because I'm in Atlanta and the winters are mild. I keep them inside my house in the closet so they are not exposed to harsh weather or UV from sunlight. I've had three sets in twenty five years only only replaced them when they were lost in the move to new place. My first set was in Michigan and my second set was in Japan. Both locations had lots of snow and ice and I worked outside around aircraft on concrete. In Atlanta we have an ice storm once or twice a year. I've never worn out or broke a part and even I had the cost is nothing compared to a broken tailbone or cracked skull. I only use occasionally because I'm in Atlanta and the winters are mild.

I left them out all summer and they have been out all winter too and they seem fine . If they can withstand South Carolina summers they can handle anywhere . I have 8 of them around my pool . Of course if you do store then they will last longer .

My use is in the basement for a special purpose; however, I can say that they are a good quality, unlike some cheap bungee cords I bought in the past. My guess is that you should have no problem with these lasting in the sun for a few years.

Yes. I've had mine outside, with some sun exposure, and it holds up just fine.

Chris,I use my globes both indoors and outdoors. Living in South Carolina, its been 104+ this year and I have had no issues with them cracking or getting damaged by the sun. I did break a couple due to my own clumsiness from dropping them however lol. You should be fine using them indoors and out...at least in hot weather I know.
