Looks well made, heavy material. As far as performance, when I ordered it we already had 10" of snow, over a week of sub-20 o temperatures. When it got here, fast delivery thank you, the temperatures were between 45 o and 60 o. Rained for 3 days melting all the snow and most of the ice. So needless to say I didn't get a chance to try it. However this is New Hampshire, December, so I will get plenty of time to use it. I have no reason to think it won't work as it should. If it does not preform as it should I will update this review.
