I have a 12-year-old Winter case for my A/Bb clarinets. And speaking of winter, it's adequate for keeping the howling winds and snow and sleet out (it has a flange around the top lid, which oddly my 1960s Buffet double case did NOT). HOwever, there's a storage cubicle that runs horizontally across the front of the case, and while it's capacious, stuff tends to sneak out of it when the case is being carried. Also, without at least 1/2" of music in the top (inside) music compartment, EVERYTHING tends to sneak out of place and fly around the case (not good). Oh, and the springs on both latches broke the first month I had the case (you need two hands to open each latch now).
I'd say the Winter case would be an OK bet for winter, provided you're willing to work with it a little. I bet you could do better, though. (I added an Olathe case cover, which is MUCH better made than the case and adds to the otherwise adequate padding, waterproofing and insulation qualities of the Winter case.)
