Gear Review
So simple.

I really like this beacon, and it's amazing how simple it is to use. On big days, I even wear this guy in-bounds on the steep stuff since the bulk is pretty low. Sure, professional guides and patrollers might have newer gear, but for the price point, ease of use, functionality and track record - this has been a great choice.
