Yeah, cold isn’t great for gear. It isn’t so much the cold itself, its the warming up! What happens is that as soon as it warms up, each time, condensation can form. You see this all the time on the chrome in your shower. If, each time it forms, the condensation fully evaporates because it got nicely warm for a long period of time - no big deal. But if you go to the store, it warms up enough for condensation to form, then you come home - it stays there. Moisture isn't good for gear! If it gets cold enough and that stuff freezes it can really do some damage. I’m lazy - I leave my gear in the car all the time too.. But I live in California - and most of the time I can get away with it. Tonight? I'm bringing my gear inside.
