Reviews around plb (5.00 of 5)

  • A PLB like this is so much better than a Spot if what you are after is a way to get actually rescued in an emergency
  • Excellent support and the plb feels super solid.
  • The PLB-375 is good for only 12 GPS self-tests, which makes it rather costly for sending

Reviews around view (5.00 of 5)

  • If sending text messages about the great view to your family and friends is more important than getting help in an emergency, get a Spot.
  • I'd have to say you need to heed the instruction to have a VERY clear view of the sky in all directions

Reviews around product (5.00 of 5)

  • Great product and extremely small and lightweight
  • I'm sure the product is great but the quality control is totally unacceptable for product that is meant for rescue

Reviews around case (3.86 of 5)

  • Small & compact; but it just could use a factory hard case to protect and prevent from accidently setting it off.

Reviews around device (3.44 of 5)

  • I have been fortunate enough to never have used my PLB but if it works as described it has to be a great safety device for people that do a lot of back-country camping.
  • Seems like a solid and ruggedly built device that I would like to have in my backpack
  • The next day, when we were finally rescued, a SAR approached me as I left the helicopter to tell me I had "a bad device" and to get a new one- preferably that texts
  • After reading reviews on various devices, I went with this one because the devices with built-in touch-screens are not as reliable in an emergency
  • but overall it's obvious that this is a well made device.
  • Read remaining 7 reviews for device
