How does it hold up to Arizona sun?

It does not hold up to the sun at all. I live in Florida and have owned the cover for a year. It is terribly faded and already torn to shreds. Did not last even nine months in the Florida sun.

Hi Patrick I have this cover and it has been out in the snow and sun and still looks great. It is a great quality cover and I am very happy with it

I live in the Northeast and it has held up well. The sun in Arizona is much stronger so I can't say if you will have the same experience. This item is sturdy and well constructed but it is possible the color may fade.

Unfortunately it will fade. I loved the colors and just put it my my grill this season and it has already faded from the NJ sun.

I live in Texas. Bought my cover last December, so it really hasn't been tested in summer yet. That said, it has held up well for being exposed to the weather for 6 mos. just some color fade. The handles are a nice feature. I would recommend it; good quality for the cost

I use it In the coast with very high winds, and a lot of sun and it has worked great. I've had it for 6 months now and it still looks new.

Yes the cover will handle the SoCal sun. The material has a significant amount of UV protection.

They shipped mine in a very tight, tough, black rubber-type cover. I just left that shipping cover on and mounted it outside. I live in Arizona with some harsh sun and it has been holding up just fine. The cover doesn't have a noticeable difference when striking. I am very satisfied with this product.

I'm from Arizona. And nothing can protect you from the sun there. This cover is for a boat in florida. It keeps alot of the sun out but when I pick it up I can see inside it is not blacked out. Hope it helps.

I think it is pretty durable but I have only had it about a month. I like it because the band is not too tight or too loose on my head and it is dark so it keeps the light out well. I never noticed any smell with it at all. I bought it because my other one was worn out (band had no elasticity) and I have to go to bed in the summer when the sun is still shining :( so this will work fantastic this summer! :)

So far so good!! I have had it out on my back deck and it has held up well so far. I will say I am concerned about the Florida sun and we will see how it does through the summer.

I have only had mine for a few months but in the Arizona sun and heat it has not faded a bit.

I live in the extreme heat in Phoenix. I've had the chair under my covered porch that faces North for a year. The chairs are well made, Saturday and don't get direct sunlight. No problems so far.

The only heat issue i have had is from the sun coming in the windshield, so i made a cover out of cardboard to insulate it from the suns heat. I also painted the cardboard black to make virtually not seen from the outside. I did cut holes for the lens and the power cord and mounting bracket clip. Unit is working very good and i am in Arizona and it has been in the high 90,s already.

We bought ours in Feb 2012, so just under two years ago. We live in Phoenix, AZ. Has held up great, no noticeable wear or fading even with our 300+ days of sunshine and intense Summers and monsoon storms. I honestly was expecting to get two Summers out of it, but looks like I will get more. Great buy and quality, will buy again when/if this one fails.

I live in Arizona and I've been super impressed. No problems with sun--wish I could say the same for my skin.

Ditto. I have had mine for 2 years as well. 2 soaking wet winters and 2 beautiful summers exposed to sunlight and, it is holding up great. Very durable for an inexpensive cover.

Quite well. In fact I've had mine outside for the last couple years now - through "polar vortex" and mid summer heat and it's held up extremely well. Quite sturdy.

Still love it and it continues to work well and even endures the hot Arizona sun and it is left out all day every day! It's so lightweight and flexible......great for women especially. I totally recommend it.

Absolutely! I've had mine outside exposed to the AZ sun for the last three years (11/12) and it still looks great.I just hose off the dust and let air dry.However, I did spray paint it with Rustoleum when it arrived to a brown to match my patio furniture.

It is a very thin piece of plastic. I was afraid it would tear just putting it on. I live in Arizona and thought I would last about a week and a half in the Arizona summer sun. It simply did not look or feel very sturdy.

I have had mine for a couple of years now and I live in South Florida. It has held up much better than I expected in the sun, rain & wind. I would not hesitate to purchase one again when mine finally dies.
