All weather at first, but after a short time the seals have to be replaced. Also, I don't want the ground to always be open to the elements. I love that you have room to run your cables through, but bugs and dust are a big problem and cause internal components to wear out quickly. I made a homemade case to use the ones I bought as I hate sending things back. But for others looking for a suitable outdoor outlet, I'd buy something more weatherproof so you don't have to pay to replace it and your wiring after a year.
