    Default Weather tolerance of Laser Jammers

    I live in an area of 4 seasons. We get all types of weather. Heavy snow, heavy thunderstorms, heat waves, extreme cold, etc.. Are laser jammers designed to withstand these types of extremes? It might be a dumb question, but I don't want to put multiple hundreds of dollars down on something that would break in harsh winter conditions.

    All jammer heads would suffer from weathering, but it all depends on how good the jammer heads are built,this is why warranty is important.

    Good, because I plan on getting a Blinder

    The upstate NY members of this forum know what I'm talking about

    This is good to hear. Although I plan to take mine off during the winter. I don't trust WI's super concentrated corossive salt.

    So far no problems with my LI's during the midwest summer rainstorms.

    Oh yeah, salt. In the winter months, roads around here are bathed in loads of salt. That can't be good for jammer heads.

    My car has seen all types of weather with all of my jammers and no real problems to speak of. My car is never under covers or in a garage either. I use to go to school in upstate NY

    Bathed is an understatement. Update NY winter are no joke, I would def take off my jammers once winter rolls around, but then again I wouldn't be speeding excessively to need them either, waaay too dangerous.
