I am really happy with the performance, and two way sat-comm that the InReach offers. What I struggle with is how best to carry it. I really dislike the design of the included belt clip... sharp edges and points and it doesn't feel secure.
The instructions suggest keeping the antenna pointed up and with a clear view of the sky, which led me to clipping it to the outside front pocket of my ZimmerBuilt, but that meant I had to take the pack off to do anything with the unit. I switched to the side pocket where it felt a little more secure but it was still out of reach to do any thing with it.
Ideal would be on the shoulder strap. However, my lower part of the left strap is dedicated to my water bottle. The remaining strap real estate could work, but the daisy chain sewn into the strap goes the wrong way. Farther up my straps is vacant, but that puts the unit horizontal. Not sure if that is okay.
Curious how those of you who are InReach users mount the unit and where.
This could prove to be a good DIY project.
