I agree. I would be willing to test the cold weather performance of their Dobs
to see how the electronics holds up.

That said, its been cold here in San Diego, supposedly down into the high 40's
last night. This morning my ears were cold as I rode up the still dark canyons
on my way to work. One of these days it just might get cold enough that I
might have to wear leggings along with my cycling shorts.

Oh well, life is tough...
