Are these going to be ok in the snow and rain? Wind will get the water into the gears right?

We had them in use on our travel trailer for 2+ years with no problems yet.

Someone makes a rubber cover for this cobi-cam lock that fits over the dial and seals out all the elements very nicely. Google it.

I installed mine last summer and used my trailer off and on over the winter and never had a problem. The gears fit tight and even when towing at 65mph I never noticed any water getting into and\or freezing in the unit. Nor did I ever see moisture in the storage areas. They do seem to be lubed well and that may help keep the water out. But this is the same type of locking gear used on bicycle locks that have been around for years I still have a lock from the early 80s that is a similar lock design and it works as good today as it did 25 years ago.The one thing I have noticed is that in less then a year the black paint faded and oxidized. But I live in SE WA and we have 300+ days of sun. I installed mine last summer and used my trailer off and on over the winter and never had a problem.

I wouldn't submerge them but mine were out all fall/winter/spring in rain/snow and they work perfectly.

Not at all - have had them out throughout the winter and all of our rain and have not had a problem.

Inches of snow probably ok but heavy wet snow will crush the flexible plastic dome on top, and yes these things will leak but only from wind driven rain, the water blows up the roof line and up under the dome and in. not that much but enough to damage the motor, I have two of these and both motors seized up after two summers, I replaced them with a non chinese motors in the existing domes.

They would be great for snow protection. I'd say more water resistant than water proof. ...the bottom is leather which will eventually get wet. But with dry, packed snow and not to be used all day they would be fine.

I'm not sure how they will hold up to the wind. From my experience in ~40F temps they keep my hands warm even when wet. My gloves are not waterproof and I work outside so when it is raining my hands do get wet but they stay warm. I am not sure how they would do cycling if you aren't moving your hands much if you are prone to cold hands like myself. Also the palm of the gloves is made of little grip "diamonds". They seem to be glued on but have held up so far. I have only had the gloves for a few months and don't use them every day. Hope I helped.

Hi Jeff, I don't have a lot of experience with these tires in the snow. They are on my Daughter's car who is away at school and the car has not been out in the snow this year.Sorry I could not be more help.

It has rained since we have installed these but not a heavy rain. But so far, they are fine. They are very heavy duty. I think they will be water safe.

I regards to them being waterproof, I have had no issue. I live in Ohio and mine have been through snow and plenty of rain. I've had no issues with this product. Just be sure to order an extention for your rear strip or its not going to reach.( No matter what you drive!)

Duck hunting won't bother the head set, but the rain might. The owners manual states "do not immerse in fluids" but makes no other comment on the matter. It appears that to wear them in the rain would be at your own risk.

I have a set mounted on my Jeep, they are waterproof, and should not have issues with getting wet.

I'm not 100% sure if they are "officially" water proof or water resistant, but I did ride with them while it was lightly raining and they seemed fine. No issues.

Hello, I do not think these would be good tires in ice or rainy wet weather. I rode on some sprinkler run off water on a concrete, and the tires felt very slippery, no grip. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can run it in snow and rain. If you have it on a smooth level surface, it should not be a problem to move that distance. The handle swings out so you have a great deal of leverage when moving it on the wheels.

Before mine died (due to frayed wiring), I left them outside once. It snowed, then rained. I didn't find them for a couple of days. But they still worked fine after recharging.

Not really. None of the connections (barring perhaps connection from hub to wire) are ruggedized/weather proof. I wouldn't be too worried in a light sprinkle, or on wet roads, but I wouldn't want to ride in the rain.

I don't have experience with the snow, but mine is adequate for the rain. I am pleased with this product so far and consider it a small investment to protect my mower.
