My Garmin 305 just bit the dust and I am trying to find a replacment. Does the Suunto GPS foot pod transmit to the watch through clothing? Could I clip the GPS to the outside of my Shell when I ski and have it transmit to the watch when it is under the gloves? I run at 4 AM Does the T6C have a good backlight? Can I make the HR numbers large like on the 305? I hate to wear reading glasses when I run.

The Suunto GPS pod will transmit through clothing, but the less, the better for accurate signal reception. This comes with an arm band, and I've put mine in my bike pack outside pocket and had good results. The t6c does have a good backlight, and, this is one of my favorite features, you can choose which values are displayed on 2 different screens, so you can put your HR as the main readout, which displays it in bigger size numbers.
