Is it affected by really cold below freezing weather?

No it's not. Compressed air/liquid canisters are generally colder than the surrounding air and can handler cold better than extreme heat (which can cause it to explode if really hot) if this was pure water id say it can freeze but it's mixed and so both the freezing point and the evaporation point is lowered.

I've not needed, thankfully, in negative temps. but I've had it with me and I'd tend to believe it will function, of course I keep it accessible so body warmth will keep it from possible freezing, if its "packed" then whats the point of having it?

Don't know and probably not in cold weather, will check the packaging if I still have it

I don't think it would work in winter when the temps are below freezing. I don't plan on using it in the cold months.

It will not get too cold in winter. Believe me, I am almost always cold and have never had any problem with cold affecting the driving ability. Enjoy. Kitty Reader

The coldest temp I used it in was about 25 degrees. It worked just fine. I highly recommend it.

I have only used it in Florida and the summer in Colorado so I can not answer about cold conditions. It does ok on cloudy days, it just takes a while longer to charge fully.

I find it as warm as a medium fill down parka, but not quite as warm as a really high fill sub arctic rated down parka. It serves me well pn MOST winter days, all but the most frigid (below zero )

I use it for auto racing in the summer months, so I have no experience with it in very cold conditions.

I've used it through 2 winters and at times it was buried under snow. No problems.

Not that we know of. We live in NC, so we don't get below zero temps. But, it worked perfectly when we were down to 10 degrees.

I've used this for 2 years now in Denver on the same set of batteries. We certainly don't have the same level of cold that Alaska does, but we have our share of cold days, and I've never had a problem with this even on sub-zero days.

We had it outside on a mountain top in central WV this past winter. Did not get to -20 (!!!), but only to just below +10. However, the cold did affect battery life. But snow and ice (if on the device), makes it inoperable; not necessarily the cold.

Mine's been outdoors since I got it last year and it's been great. I live in Georgia and we did have some freezing temps but not in the sustained way you'd have up north.

Hi, We live in Chicago and it has been working just fine in the cold weather. No Problems! We have already had 10 degrees and its perfect. Its really worth the money.

Cynthia, I honestly don't know. Temperatures here can reach well below zero and I haven't had any issues with real cold temps. My guess if water did get on the compressor and found a way into the compressor itself, cold temps may have frozen and expanded some components causing it to fail. Similiar to a cracked engine block of a motor boat that wasn't winterized properly. Again, only a guess as my unit thankfully continues to operate without issues.

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

Hi, last winter it got down to 10 below zero and it worked just fine no problems.
