How does it hold up in weather? Can I leave it outside all summer or do you bring it undercover daily? Is the lid secure enough not to blow away?

Hi, I keep the cooler in the garage most of the time, I don't leave nice things open to the elements like sun and rain.although I'm sure you can.

Its good for light rain and no more. I wouldn't take it in heavy rain, or out in the water unless you just want to kill it. I take a little bag with me (inside its storage compartment) to cover it if it starts to rain more than a drizzle.

No way- cover is very light weight. Does the job in the summer for the most part but has leaked during bad rain storms. In fact usually bring it in during mid fall and most likely won't take out for another week. We do however live in upstate NY- we get snow by the foot so we don't leave much out over the winter

The lid seems to keep water out where I keep mine, it might be slightly sheltered under trees, but I havehad no problem.

It holds up to heat well. But do not leave it outside in the rain as is is not waterproof. I bring mine inside after every grill session and it works wonderfully every time.

I keep it out completely exposed all summer and it's fine. I expected it to break after the first season because of the low price compared to the others. However this will be my 3 rd summer coming up and no issues. Enjoy! Wow I must saw the other answer and all I can say is I guess I was lucky. No negative comments here. FYI I live in the northeast so summers are 90-100 on certain days and it keeps cool.

It's not specifically made for staying outside for days, but if you put something down so it wasn't directly touching the ground and only kept it out for a few hrs then I would think it should be ok. The thin plastic will deflat quicker in direct sunlight & heat up quickly too. It's up to you.

Haven't had it long enough to know. We got it six months ago - in the fall. It IS humid here so we'll see. So far I can say it's survived our brutal Midwest winter. We'll see how it holds up in our humid summer. I bought it because the reviews I read said it held up well.

With the flap closed, I think it would be fairly weather proof. I have it installed on a porch where it's protected, so I've never really tested it out in this way, but it's a very sturdy mailbox. If a larger package is placed inside, obviously, the lid can't be closed, and then rain could certainly get in.

Lid seems to just rest in the top, though in the groove. Wind does not seem to blow it off so cover stays on anyway.

We have ours outside but undercover. The padding has faded from sun exposure but otherwise it is fine. I wouldn't leave it too exposed though.

The lid fits in place well, and we have yet to see winds move it, so you may be safe. We really like the design.

The lid removes easily. I would give it a "moderate" on wind. The flame is powerful, and not blown out easily.

I live in Texas. Bought my cover last December, so it really hasn't been tested in summer yet. That said, it has held up well for being exposed to the weather for 6 mos. just some color fade. The handles are a nice feature. I would recommend it; good quality for the cost

It is not completely watertight. I've had no problems in rainy weather, but the car wash can get past the seal. The contents are safe in the rain. It's a great cover. Thumbs up.

I would keep it in the shade whenever possible. As summer has not yet arrived I can't truly answer how well it will fare in direct sunlight. It is Stainless Steel and you can keep it outside between uses in a shady spot. I had another Stainless Steel rolling cart and I would put it in the garage over the winter until then next outdoor party occurrence. Ice will last for several days if it is not in direct hot sunlight. Even when the ice melts it still keeps beverages cold just add some more fresh ice and drain off some of the melted ice that has accumulated.
