I have buryflex that was bought new, mostly in about 2012. It was
initially running on-the-ground-surface, up the tower, and to the antenna.
Since then I've replaced that original tower with 3 new ones. And all
the in-ground and up-tower runs are now hardline. But the original
Buryflex from 2012 is now repurposed, serving new duty as rotor loop and
along antenna duty.
From my experience here in KS - Meaning 100+ in the summer and -20 or
lower in the winter - it's been zero failures; zero problems. Of
course YMMV, but if I need more flexible 213, it's probably going to be
more Buryflex.
Good luck!

Jim,
I put mine in for my new tower in 2011, so that's going on 12 years now. So
far so good!

I have gone to Davis Bury Flex for outdoor use.
So have I, and I'm very happy with Davis RF and I'm using BuryFlex, but I
don't have a decade or more of experience with it, so didn't respond.
