got very bored with the evo but it was used every day .the escos only used on sunny days.could never imagine putting the evo away for winter it was used and abused in all ways .dont think the escos would havr fared the same.to me the cos is much to precious to abuse.if you got ohe i would guarantee you would do the same as most and tuck it away for winter and if you buy a evo you will be thinking of selling this time next year
