It looks like Easton and Anderson are the only ones to mention 60F in their warranties. DD has bent a couple of alloy Easton bats but it was warmer than 60F. I also heard that Anderson's were pretty much tanks.

We played 3 games yesterday
It was a beautiful day, with a high of 55 in the afternoon, ~40*F for the first game.
Last Tuesdays games it was 43*F, and windy.
Last Spring we played on a day where the first game was 27*F, and the high was 45*F in the afternoon.
My DDs use the 2015 Xenos in those games.
Not a crack or failure to date.
It gets a little colder in NW MN than in Texas.

Like GM said- its the cold balls that get rock-like and can then damage the bats. I expect in a game the ball would tend to receive some heat thru use and remain reasonably pliable. that being said, I don't like to see new bats being used when its below 60- if it gets damaged, the cost to replace is a lot of money to me.
Yes. That original RT, is what my daughter used 12 years ago. We were at 7,000 feet elevation (Flagstaff). We never saw a day that was above 50.

We played a tournament in the high 40's with light rain a few weeks ago. We ended up with 3 broken bats that weekend - all Xenos. I've never seen anything like it. Every one of the parents went out and bought something different the next week. DD2 was swinging her LXT and had no issues.
