The ABUS 83WP Series padlocks are weather protected, steel bodied padlocks with a plastic cover. It differs from similar styled weather protected padlocks in that the body is solid steel, not laminated steel.

The plastic cover is manufactured using a dual injection process that results in a rubber-like material around the shackle opening, while retaining heavy duty durability around the rest of the padlock. This assists in preventing the cover from splitting.
