Sorry for my misinterpretation.

I'm not part of the team that decides which products need to be added to our line—I just help design the ones the company determines we need. The waterproof remote topic comes up often, and gets re-examined often. It's true, there are a large number of people who want a waterproof remote. There just don't appear to be very many of those people who are actually willing to put down the money when it's actually time to take out their checkbook. When you're one of those dealers who could sell a dozen or two of them a year, it seems like the whole market is probably like your market, but sales numbers for this category clearly indicate that those dealers are a rarity.

I'd love to see that change. There are a number of us here at URC who would LOVE an outdoor remote. (I live in Texas, so it would be useful here most of the year.) But like any product, we can't build a product because people want it—we have to build what people will actually buy.

(Oh... and for what it's worth: like I said, I don't make these decisions. I don't even influence them that much. I could be the world's biggest proponent of a product, but it's still not my decision to make. I'm just joining in the discussion here, same as you.)

Best regards,
Dale

It sounds like you need a Golden Shellback coating on your remotes...

Unfortunately, the actual golden-shellback.com website seems to be down, otherwise I'd have provided a link for it as well. I'm not sure they're still offering the coatings "at retail" unfortunately. They used to have prices listed for a hand full of common gadgets.
