depends on the weather where u are from. I'm from CT and the winters are cold as ****. I believe the iso thermal is good for temps that drop below 30* but dont quote me on that. I have one and love it!

no the copper part is for cold weather. the iso thermal part has nothing to do with that...

I also had the same question as I was looking into the 5/16". If it is driven in cold weather now though with no problem, why does it reccommend the copper, i was looking to get the iso-thermal one opposed to the copper isothermal.
