Back in '08 I dropped nearly $500 on a set of those newfangled composite shoeing boxes.
They were supposed to be lighter and last forever, but the first real cold snap we had up here cracked the lid clean through. Now I'm back to my old steel box, wondering if anyone else had gear fail when the temperature really dropped.

Funny how they never test that stuff in real cold before selling it. The problem is those plastics get brittle as glass once you hit a certain point. My cousin works with polymers and says the temperature rating on the box probably didn't account for wind chill, which makes it way worse.

Tell me about it, I learned the hard way like @finley_lee said. My fancy cooler turned into a puzzle box last winter, lmao.
