Has anyone used this in heavy rain or a snow storm? I am looking at weatherproof reliability on this. Thanks.

Yes we have. We're in snow country. We live in Montana and cross mountain passes to visit family at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We've also been through some major rain storms with it on some cross country trips. We've had maybe a little dampness on the outside of a suitcase if the flap wasn't folded properly over the zipper, operator error. Nothing has ever been wet.

im in NC so i am not sure about heavy snow but it does well in hot conditions and everyday driving, and also at high speeds on the high way. It is also good in the rain but when washing your truck some water might get in around the liftgate area. Overall it is a great product for the price.

I don't use it in the rain so I can't answer how it would hold up. Works fine in cold weather.

We haven't tested rain and snow...but we did drop ours in the river. We managed to get it out after a few minutes. That was over a year ago and its still working.

yes. i have used mine in the rain and it still works great. the only thing i might worry about is the camera and connections. i would cover those just in case.

The DCS-2332L is absolutely weatherproof. The reviewer who says otherwise is wrong. Mine has been out in the weather for 2 years, rain, snow, 10 below zero to 100 degrees in the direct sun.

I have had this cover on my trike all winter with no problems. They do say water resistant in the paperwork, but I had no moisture issues in the rain or snow.By going through last winter not sure if it will last another, but the price was worth the cover.

I think this would be fine in that situation. I've used it in snow and light rain and it worked great. My camera is not weather sealed so I worry about wet weather

I've had it for several years in all weather, year round. The cold and wet affects it almost not at all aside from some mold. It is still waterproof with the exception of a tear. The tear happened because it got brittle because of sun exposure. A UV silicone spray would probably have helped it last a little longer, but for $15-30, it probably isn't worth it.

I've been in the rain with it and haven't had a problem. Make sure that the charger cover is in place as it detaches easily.

Mine has been fine in heavy rain and snow mounted to the outside of my house with no additional cover. Very happy with the unit.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

well so far mine has stood up to the rain but don't stick it in a puddle. Mine is attached to the back of my jeep I haven't had any problems and I live in Washington state it rains all the time. I would say water resistant not waterproof. Like stated in the others it doesn't have any waterproofing seals.

I leave mine up all year in rain and snow and have no problems. I also purchased the connector cover.

I don't think it's waterproof - if it's raining I use a plastic rain cover over the stroller and BundleMe. It does fine with snow or drizzle, but I wouldn't use it in heavy rain without a cover.

Well, here we arrive at the classic discussion of water resistant vs. waterproof. I can tell you that I would consider this waterproof. This past fall we used this sunshade at our son's football game. Just after we got the canopy and sunshade up a pretty heavy rain started and dumped for more than an hour. The shade didn't leak at all during that hour and kept us dry and warm during the downpour. Can't speak to how it would perform for more than an hour, but I was impressed with how dry it was during the heavy rain for that time frame.

I haven't had any troubles with mine not working after being exposed to rain. but in Tx we don't get a lot of rain...
