nice unit

Would have been a 5 out of five but mine seems to turn on while stored in my gear bags. Something to watch. It may sounds strange but I have every version of the delorme inReach and Garmin inReach. these new generation seem to connect a lot quicker than the previous models. also the new Garmin App is fantastic. I would recommend buying this unit if you are already planning on having a phone with you. This is all I have to share at this time.

This is a great tool paired with my instinct watch. Stash it in you pack and forget about it. Everything else is done from the phone or smartwatch.

I purchased this for an off road trip to be able to keep in touch with family. Battery life was excellent, it only dropped 10% after 4 days of intermittent use. Size and weight wasn't a concern for this trip but I don't have any concerns in taking it on the next backpacking trip. It will be a minimal weight penalty for some peace of mind.

Savior in a Small Package

I plan on doing some serious hiking/backpacking this fall and the InReach Messenger really puts my family at ease and makes communication easy in remote locations. I think it a reasonable investment if you plan on being off grid.

For the inial test, I put the device in a suitcase and put the suitcase inside my camper during a weekend trip. The device transmitted with no problems through the case and the surrounding vehicle. I expect it will work flawlessly out in the woods.
