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.

Yes. It has been used in fairly heavy rain and snow. As long as the rain fly is used it holds up well.

I thought it was adequately heavy duty. It's not like you're going to be able to rip it off from under a ton of snow, but it worked well for us. No snags or unusual tears. Got several seasons under our belts with this. No issues so far.......

The chair has passed its first year in great condition. We stored it for the winter. The chain has not proven to be a problem for us. We are very satisfied.

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.

I just purchased mine a few months ago and currently have my bike in the parking lot in Chicago. Even with all the snow, wind and cold weather it's holding up very well to this point. Granted I did build a simple wooden platform and attached the dome to it. Once the snow melts a little I'll be able to get back inside it. I hope this helps

I had mine through winter and it held up well. I also washed it a lot though

It will hold up just fine I left mine in all winter last year and the snow blower didn't even bother it The lantern is very well built

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'm hoping it will last me for at least a few years. We have experienced a lot of rain and it is holding up just fine. I'm just worried about heavy wet snow.

This will be the 1st winter I have had them... I keep them outside on the patio.. They are showing signs of "weathering" but are still functional and sturdy... I must admit that during assembly I added Woodtite III glue

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

i have found that unless you're up in the mountains in deep snow, chains are a pain. they don't travel well on clear roads, so they are awkward if you have some good highway miles then off onto smaller snow-covered roads. in they end i found it better to fork out the extra bucks and get studded tires put on in the winter months.

It holds up pretty well depending on how well you anchor it. No issues with tears or rips after 2 summers and a fair number of storms. We do take it down during winter before major storms, but the adjustable clamps make that a 2-5 minute job.

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.

We have used it for extended periods of time and it has held up well. I would take it down in the winter months , or if your expecting high winds.

I was actually surprised with the durability of this plastic. It withstands the wind well as long as there are no sagging parts or loose ends for the wind to grab. However it does not withstand weather during the winter in colder places, mine became brittle under freezing conditions but i think it would work fine long term in a tropical environment, hope this helps.
