Curious how long I should expect these to last with Southern California exposure?

Impossible to answer without a crystal ball. Will they be kept in full sun?, left out year around. They are very sturdy and well built, but like all material the amount of care that they are given has bearing on their useful lifetimes...just like people.

We live in Seattle. We bought our chair covers last fall. They appear to be "like new" thus far.

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

mine just went through a rough Tenn. winter this last year, and are in great shape. best covers- and for the price-perfect!

I also live in So Cal. Purchased 10/2013 and as of 6/2015 this cover is broken. The fabric is now so brittle it literally rips when handling it. I'm trying to see what the warranty is on it to file a claim. This, along with my other Hearth and Garden covers, are very poor quality (at least in regards to durability in the hot SoCal sun).

Mine look brand new after one winter and direct sun on my deck in Philadelphia. Very sturdy construction.

We are on our second summer and they were on during a bad Ohio winter. They look great. Very durable and heavy quality. I would recommend them to a friend.

Mine have done a great job for a year. I had cheap ones first and they shredded within a year. These look like they came out of the package.....

Mine has been outside over a year and there are no signs of any weathering at all. It might depend on your environment. I live in Southern CA and we experience all the seasons.

I've only had mine for a month or so. However, I'm certain it depends on how often you use them and how well you take care of them after and between each use. I expect mine will last longer than 6 mo. as I don't wear them constantly.

If they are left to sit in place indefinitely outdoors, filled with sand, then I would expect them to eventually rot on the bottom. If turned upside down every so often to dry out, then they should last many years.

Should last for years IF they are in a sealed box. If they are exposed to light its not good.

They should be perfectly fine for a very long time. Ive the intact strips running on a 11-14.3 volt system and they work just fine in that range. Ive only had issues with one strip because of a crack in the rubber shell letting water into it

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

I bought these in october. I use them most days. They seem like they will last nicely. Seem study. I take Peru good care of my gear. Though I have dropped them a couple of times. No problems.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

Robert, I have been using these for over 8 years now and the are excellent. My car stays outside in the FL sun and they last any where from 6-10 months.

I have only had these for lass than a year so I have not had any sun fading or cracking. I am more concerned about roadsalt here in our PA winter climate.

I live in Southern California and have no clue. You may want to check with the manufacturer.

these have silicone type primer padding. I would say it should last many hundreds if not thousands of times. the casings are some sort of aluminum.

I bought a pair of these in late September. After about 150 miles of running something within them has given way and makes a noticeable rattling on the control (right ear) side.. They still work though, but just bear in mind that they are a consumable that will not last for years on end. Given that they are rechargeable, I figured I'd get about 18-24 solid months out of them, but sadly that may not be the case. I'll use them till they fail or if the rattling becomes overly obnoxious. I've used them in warm temps, freezing temps, light rain and snow and they work just fine. They aren't water/weatherproof, but given the physical breakdown I'll have no qualms against using them out in the elements. I bought a pair of these in late September.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.

I have never read anywhere how long they last. I am sure if you take care of them they will last a long time.

I've only had them for a month or so they've been through a car wash a few times. I sprayed the pressure washer right up at them didn't see any water inside them so they are sealed very well. And as far as heat I'm in Tucson, AZ so it's been hot not our hottest yet so I can't answer that yet. They are bright as hell (borderline blinding).
