Review:
I had luckily not to use an EPIRB in my life yet and hope I never have to. But that aside, I upgraded to this new PLB after my previous one from GME was expired and the replacement battery would have cost almost as much as a brand new one. Since I am always trying to reduce my pack weight and size wherever I can - this PLB is unreal. Its so small and light, you have to take care to not loose it somewhere.
Pros:
- Really (really) small and light
Cons:
- None so far
Comment:
If you are conscious about weight and pack size to keep your backpack small - this is the EPIRB to buy.
