How does it stay on? Can you walk outside with snow/rain

My daughter broke her arm and was able to go swimming with it. We would check fairly often to make sure the seal was tight though. It's a great product and didn't have any issues. However, i think it could get a rip if you walked on it...

you run through the snow and its like going through sand... it should clump and want to stay on the ground. the electronics have a cover over the top of them so that any water that drios in should just end up in the chassis and then out one of the small holes in the bottom. this cannot be submerged in water....does it have a "rain coat" yes......

Yes I have used mine in the rain and in the snow but cold affects battery life

I walk pretty fast and it stays on good. It is adjustable and is quite lightweight.

I have mine under a covered porch so it doesn't get rained on. Unless you get some sealant to coat the top with, I don't think it would hold up too long in the rain/snow. It's fine in the sun, it lets fresh air through. It would probably be fine in windy conditions but it's light enough be be knocked over by a large dog unless it's backed up against a wall. Also, I'm in the pacific northwest so we have an abundance of rainy weather. If you're somewhere with tamer weather, it might be fine in the rain.

Extreme cold might cut battery life a little. Wind could cause a noise problem. Not sure about a driving rain. I believe it is made more for indoor use.

According to the manufacturer it is made with waterproof materials. According to other reviews it is not made for super cold weather. Thank you!

The unit has a spring tension door which closes, of course. It does seem waterproof to me, and I have had mine installed for nearly a year on my motorcycle which sits outside only having been covered several times, mostly when it snows. Still I want to start placing a baggie over it, when not in use. I only use it for my GPS so far, but it always works. Oh, I have used it in the rain at least twice that I recall. I just place the GPS in a baggie and it works well, best at night with the baggie actually. Hope this helps. Not important, but I do see the red sticker is beginning to fade from the sun. Oh, my new battery has been working fine, so I guess there is no drainage due to water leakage, shorts. The unit has a spring tension door which closes, of course.

snow won't hurt it, but it a mesh screen-like material, so rain and snow would go right thru it!

Just got it, but not intending to leave it up in the winter. If it snows I believe it would get too heavy and tear. No it is not a good rain diverted b/c it is woven and not actually sail cloth.

Works great in the rain. The water just beads up. I haven't had any issues with rain/snow soaking in, it just brushes off.

It never gets rain in it, but I can't answer for snow as I live in the desert. I love it and it's held up wonderfully.

Hmm. Amazon asked me to answer this question. I live in Hawaii, so no snow, but lots of rain. It keeps the rain out quite well and is big enough inside for multiple layers of whatever. You can use the guy lines to adjust the pitch of the lower section but it does open from the top, so if there is a layer of snow so some may leak in when you open it. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants a larger than average bivy-no reservations or regrets whatsoever

It's fine to ride with it in the rain, but after a while, or if it sits in permanently wet conditions (for example if it sits with a lot of snow on top), moisture might seep inside, which interferes with the on/off/flash switch's functioning. There is a gasket, but I've found that this happens anyway. There is a lifetime warranty on the product, though you have to send the light away before they will send you a new one.

Its always on. I bought an outdoor timer to turn it before dawn on snowy nights and late in the day on snowy days. In light of this real bad winter we're having, this is one of my better purchases.

it lasted about a year and shredded from Arizona winds. I have no idea on snow but it is not waterproof.i had it mainly to keep sun off, it did that for a while, now junk.
