This is a great product for winter use!Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I don't use it, my son does so I had to catch him.He has been using it for at least three years now, mostly when he is skiing, even when it is -20 degrees!He says this, "The insulation cover for the tube does not allow it to fit in the clips so that isn't being used.To prevent water from freezing in the tube you must blow the water back into the bag after drinking.Sometimes the mouth piece does freeze but you can carefully bite it a few times and break the ice."Highly recommended!Hope this helps.

It works very well. The insulated hose buys you time before it freezes. However, if it gets very cold, you can simply blow into the hose when you're done drinking, so that the water in the hose (especially the mouth piece) will not freeze.

I have not experienced this model in the winter since it was purchased in the warmer months but I imagine with the outer insulation around the tubing it should not freeze up as fast as the previous model I still own. The previous model with the insulation around the tubing would freeze up in the winter months. I kept it in my car at all times as a water source.

It has been good so far, no rain in yet. I don't know about winter time yet have not had it long enough.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

We have found after owning several of these that it does not perform as well in the winter months and we live in Georgia. The company is aware of the problem but have not corrected it to our satisfaction. This is expensive snd should last longer tha a couple of years. Overall though it certainly is nice to have for all the other months. Hope this helps

I haven't gone through a winter with it up. I plan on leaving it up this winter as a wind block. I live in N Mississippi so our winters are not too harsh. I hope it lasts me several seasons. The quality is excellent.

Im in chicago and last winter was very cold i was very warm in -15 F. When i shoveled snow it got really warm. So it really depends on how much activity you plan on doing in it.

It worked well for me. It didn't burn through or anything. In the winter here we use it often.

I only bought mine earlier this year so it hasn't been through a cold snowy winter here yet but I think it will stand up to it quite well. It's a very thick two ply plastic with mesh between the layers. I think it would do great in SC.

My sister has been using hers this winter. Although it hasn't been colder than the teens. It seems to be working fine.

I bought this unit as a gift to my daughter and she used it all last winter with no problems at all.

Haven't used it in wet weather yet, but would expect it to do well. We have used it in snow and is was great with the liner in.

We are currently going through winter, and we had no issues with it. The few times my children have used it worked just fine.

We only had light snow but did well in 3-4 inch snow, better than most tires. Only tires I put on all of my families cars
