This is a great product for winter use!Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I don't use it, my son does so I had to catch him.He has been using it for at least three years now, mostly when he is skiing, even when it is -20 degrees!He says this, "The insulation cover for the tube does not allow it to fit in the clips so that isn't being used.To prevent water from freezing in the tube you must blow the water back into the bag after drinking.Sometimes the mouth piece does freeze but you can carefully bite it a few times and break the ice."Highly recommended!Hope this helps.

It works very well. The insulated hose buys you time before it freezes. However, if it gets very cold, you can simply blow into the hose when you're done drinking, so that the water in the hose (especially the mouth piece) will not freeze.

I have not experienced this model in the winter since it was purchased in the warmer months but I imagine with the outer insulation around the tubing it should not freeze up as fast as the previous model I still own. The previous model with the insulation around the tubing would freeze up in the winter months. I kept it in my car at all times as a water source.

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

Just purchased it in December so we haven't had a chance to use it yet. Still Winter where we are. It looks like it is going to do the job though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I haven't had it up during the extreme cold of winter. However, it has been below freezing a couple of times this year already and it is staying just fine, so far!

I started using the composter at the beginning of this summer, so I don't know exactly how it will perform during the winter. Frankly I am not thrilled with it. I plan on cleaning it out next spring and giving it away.

We purchased ours to use in the winter and it works great. The description says it works in hot and cold weather but I can only vouch for cold weather.

I've had for just under a year, but doing fine so far. Used on a screened porch so no intense sun but does get very cold and snowed on occasionally through the screen. Still flexible after the first winter.

David Ihad 2 inches of snow this year and it handled it well as far as the heater it did not melt the snow off of it but it took little effort to knock the snow off with a broom,it slid off very easily. we had temps here down in the teens (north central texas) and we used a radiator heater and a heat lamp and all of the plants we had survived. I hope this was of some help. Curtis G. meridian,tx

I haven't gone through a winter with it up. I plan on leaving it up this winter as a wind block. I live in N Mississippi so our winters are not too harsh. I hope it lasts me several seasons. The quality is excellent.

My sister has been using hers this winter. Although it hasn't been colder than the teens. It seems to be working fine.

I've used this indoors and the quality is excellent, especially for the price. There should be no concern of using in cold climate
