PVC type rain suits seem to crack and fall apart really easily when it gets cold. How is the pvc/nylon in the cold?

In reality nothing last forever. I'm planing to used a couple times and discarted..yes PVC not only crack but tend to get cold that how lose it flexibility and cracks using it with nylon looks more stronger.. But we see if pass the text.

Sorry, but I can't answer this. Suit is not used in the cold weather. Hubby is a Golf Superintendent and uses it during the summer rains when he is working on the course.

My husband has been using his for 7 years many days in cold weather with no cracking issues

PVC as a wire "jacket" or wrap is actually not used very often. Mostly used for very cold environments. This is some cross of rubber and plastic.

I have had it outside for a while in the rain, with no issues. However, if gets cold enough to freeze, the lock stiffens up quickly.

This is more pliable than most other hoses I have owned...it really depends upon the temperature in the air when you are trying to roll up the hose. When it's cold <40 degrees it can be a little squirrelly.

I wouldn't describe it as cheap plastic at all. I believe it's canvas if a sort. It's a quality product, good seams, good construction. I have a bow rider and when we get rain here it rains fast. I probably had a couple hundred pounds of water in the front section and it didn't leak at all. Had to siphon the water out as it was too heavy to try and just push out by hand. Also the straps are attached well as they've never given up even with that much weight.

It is an average weight nylon tent material. Don't put anything that can't get wet in the little cubby compartments that stick out on the backside of the tent. I found that the only area of the tent that leaked but had been forewarned. You can put coolers and the like in there though. I would pre-treat it with a water proofing agent prior to camping. Won't protect you much from the cold but an adequate sleeping bag will. Stands up pretty well to wind. It stayed upright in a severe thunder storm with 60 mile an hour wind gusts. Albeit, there were four of us inside weighing it down.

The recycle bins are made of HDPE (high density polyethylene). With normal use, this material can perform well in cold temperatures. I have not personally tested them--I live in Arizona! But my husband is a material specialist and this information comes from him.

Outside nylon inside vinylI go in sewers and duck hunt with them and I patched a hole a year ago with a simple vinyl patch and it has held through heavy use. They do make you sweat!

Its not like the ones that have the gritty stuff inside. Its just fabric and its great. If you really want it cold after wetting it place in the freezer for a couple of minutes. Its Great!!

It does lose some flexibility when in the cold which I would expect and my hose has been exposed to zero degrees. What I would do is take the hose to a warm place, then quickly take it to the cold environment after you have warmed the hose and hook it up in the cold environment . Unless your going to move the hose around in the cold allot I think your going to have to live with the stiff hose. I hope this helps. Jeff

Hasn't been too cold in PA this Fall/Winter, temps in the high 20s at lowest, I use the Hitch pack while up the Pocono Mountains and transporting goods from the warehouse store, seems to not get too stiff? I have a Kanga Roof Storage, probably 10 years old, The material that is made of is what I was really hoping for... but couldn't find a hitch pack version, I'd spend extra if there was one available. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on the Amigo, it's not as thick as my Kanga but haven't had any issues yet.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

We always put the cover supplied over the tent which really insulated the entire tent / we even brought an extra tarp for rain - if needed - it wasn't needed - have not used it in winter but I bet it would be air tight and as warm (as possible) even in cold weather! We tested it prior to use with a water hose - not one drop of water came in the tent! We had a couple of cool mornings (40's) but very cozy inside the tent!Betty P. from VT

Good question, but I'm not the one to ask unfortunately. I purchased it in the fall and it been freezing and cold here in the N.E. Based on its construction, which is fairly heavy duty plastic of a honeycomb type nature (its not solid plastic but has cavities between the inner and out layers) I would imagine it would hold up well.

Not sure if you think it will stay dry. I don't think so. I bought these for my husband and myself, we wear it alone in warm water diving. Under our heavier suit in cold water diving. It helps to get the thicker/heavier wetsuits on. But I don't think it stays completely dry. Just an under layer. Hope this helps you. Deb

This is a pretty expensive suit to be running around on dinghies. Though it is strudy (not fragile), I could see you catching it on sharp items. You could probably buy 50 - 100 throw away rain suits for the price of this drysuit. Otherwise, the drysuit should do the job. I'd just be nervous catching it on something. Good luck.

Well we don't really have snow where I am but we do leave it out in the weather, hot and cold, rain etc and there are no real problems. The frame is a strong PVC like they use in industrial pipes and the net is a well made nylon material. We have had it outside now for about 9 months and there are no signs of any wear. When the net does start to wear, you can buy replacement ones.
