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.

In Illinois we have had weeks of below freezing temperatures, single digits to freezing. The unit has worked without a problem during this time and has saved me unnecessary trips to the mail box.

Just got it (October 2014) but so far it's doing fine, and it's been in the single digits a few times.

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

I haven't spent a winter with mine. But my husband doesn't think it will freeze because of the small surface of contact within the metal parts. I live in a very cold area during winter too. We feel they should work year round.

Not sure how cold it is where you live but mine stayed outside, covered all winter long without any issues. I live in TX.

my daughter uses it cold. It stays cold for about a hour. As for freezing it never got stiff, it always stayed pliable. The ability to strap it on to her body and she can keep moving around with out if falling or leaking it great.

I have only used as cold and it is so comfortable. Cold last 20 to 30 minutes and it just sits so nicely I do not mind it at all.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

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.

Bill - we have used it in cold weather with very good results (32 degrees and above), but not sure about performance in sub zero weather. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Have you called the manufacturer for input?

I have not used outside in cold. but I'm sure if it was under a tent it would be fine or if not It runs on batteries so all good just don't get batteries wet. good luck!! I'm going to try the cold :) :)

My girlfriend uses it with no issues. It is more the amount of snow you have to deal with. I find that it can handle about four or five inches. If you have more snow on the ground you have to work in layers

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.
