Faded fast, still work great.

I purchased three sets (of four) for a Flag Football league we have here in Southern California. After about three weeks of use, a few of these started leaking sand out of the bottom. The stitching came un-done and had to be repaired. So far, after five weeks of games we have had to repair four pylons. Luckily we have a seamstress on staff and she does a great job. The stitching isn't very thick or strong, so you may have to make some repairs. Other than that, they look great, serve their purpose. If treated carefully (which ours may just get thrown around), they should last you a while, but you may have to make some repairs in the meantime.
