I have to put chains on my tired in the winter. I'm wondering how the shell holds up durability wise.

I would say it is pretty durable. I wouldn't wade through thorn bushes, but I think for everyday activities it does nicely.

I think the mighty lite is pretty durable. I'm in my third winter with mine and it still looks brand new.

The limbs have held up pretty good for me so far! I do recommend different bolts though. The glue holding the threaded piece in does NOT hold up to cold weather. I lost a broad head the other day because of it.

It seems like a very durable product. I used it for something not intended and it did well. I put several coats on a piece of metal that is a anchor rope guide on my boat. It was constantly wearing off the factory finish, rusting and chafing the rope if I did not repaint it each time we went fishing. It held up very good but still needed to re-dip the part after about 5 trips but still better than doing it every time. Once cured it will not chip but as with most every thing else, will break down with abrasion.

I haven't had mine through the winter yet, but it's been outside in tons of weather since spring and it does not show any signs of rusting or weathering. It's a sturdy product, built to last. The best I've ever had. If I see anything in the future I would apply a silicone coat on the area.

I am using it outside on a pole between buildings. We don't get down to zero, probably 30 with wind chill and so far no issues. The cable casing seems like it would be able to handle the cold. I felt it was a good quality cable housing.

It is rather stiff tubing that I buried in several places. Not sure that it would withstand freezing in winter but other than that I would bury it. It uses barb type connectors, any hardware store would have adapters to match any tubing size to any other size.

For the price you can't beat them mine have lasted 2 years of snow plowing so they hold up not bad. It's all about cutting the cheap connectors off and soldering the wires together and shrink tube the joint. Make it water proof . The lights are sealed so that won't be your weather problem, definitely the connectors

Mine has held up well and even left them out in the snow...been a rough winter and not much fade to them at all.

I would say yes. I ran my across campus, through parking lots and even through snow a few times. I never left it out in the elements for extended periods of time, but nevertheless I can say it's a solid cart that isn't going to just break on you. I have two and I've only managed to damage one of the wheels when it was loaded with over 300 lbs and I ran into a 3/4" ledge at a bad angle. Otherwise, they've held up very well. I think they should be able to hold up outside just fine considering how I've pushed mine pretty hard and they are fine besides the one wheel (though I haven't specifically tested it's weather resistance).

I had it outside for the summer through the fall and it endured a number of rainstorms. I haven't tried keeping it out in the winter, but I think it would do fairly well. The metal is strong and has a good powder coating on it, though I wouldn't press my luck if it was going to come in contact with salt over the winter. Regardless, it's easy enough to disassemble and store in a garage or basement.

I have not had any issues at all and they have sat outside since I installed them last spring. One is even cracked from me hitting it with a log and it works fine even in rain and snow.

As far as holding the shells, seems to hold it well, none have fallen out. I have only used the sling to hold the shells but have not used it in the field so I don't know of the durability but it seems fine.

I am using mine for the second year. I live in Michigan so it held up through a brutal winter uncovered! I believe it will last for at least 5-6 yrs!

I've had this rack on all winter and a tiny bit of rust around where you connect the two basket parts together has formed. It's a very small amount. Hope this helps.

Quite well. I have five of these installed on the outside of my garage here in NJ. We've had a hard winter and they are holding up just fine.

I don't think the shell is sturdy enough. My first shell I ordered came broken even though it was packed very well. (The company did replace it and the second one was delivered undamaged)
