If you’re an avid hiker or trail runner, you know that taking proper safety precautions is crucial. Along with having fuel, proper gear and protection, a satellite GPS is strongly advised. Not only does it allow for communication with the outside world, but it also enables precise tracking at all times. And since these can be wildly expensive, we had to alert our beloved hikers of the deal on Garmin’s InReach Mini 2 that’s currently 38% off and at its lowest price in the last 30 days.
One of the most essential aspects of backpacking is packing lightly, and weighing just 3.5 ounces, the bestselling Garmin InReach Mini 2 won’t add much to your load. Its powerful battery lasts up to 14 days on one charge, allowing for two-way messaging and interactive SOS globally with an active satellite subscription. Said subscription also lets you share your location with friends and family and pair it with other Garmin devices.
In addition to enabling remote communication, the InReach Mini 2 is also extremely helpful for staying on track. Prior to embarking on your adventure, you can fully map out your trip using the Garmin Explore app. TracBack routing can also help you navigate back to your starting point, in case you’re lost. And you’ll always have directional information with the digital compass. You don’t even have to be actively moving to use it.
Among all else, the Garmin InReach Mini 2 is an ultra reliable safety tool. One reviewer says, “I would never head out in the wilderness without my Garmin. I can keep in touch with home when I’m in the mountains. Real peace of mind. It integrates with my phone perfectly. I like that it has the SOS feature. The battery lasts for days. It’s compact and easy to use. I would never head out into the wilderness without it… Well worth it.”
The 38% off sale brings the price down from $400 to just $250. So do yourself a favor and grab this satellite communicator to invest in your safety, for all your upcoming fall hiking trips and beyond.
