I really don't care what you use or what you promote. You're so full of yourself you can't even tell when you look like a fool on a public forum trying to argue about a product.
Isnt this thread about some missing riders?
Maybe someone should get a hold of them to see if thier sat phone performed adequately in this emergency or if they want to ditch it for the zolo lol

well, apparently someone who is not sponsored by Zoleo disagrees with you Dave.... https://expertworldtravel.com/garmin-inreach-mini-2-vs-zoleo/
Summary of the article with both their features: Garmin wins (and zoleo is for the occasional user). No hate, just facts bro.
Can we stop with your paid advertisments now?

they are found thread is free game now lol
but to your point, i dont think anyone disagrees with a sat phone being a very useful tool but with a price tag of 2000$+ and more monthly fees, the zoleo/inreach is a cost effective option that everyone can have on them personally. heck if your in a group of two and get split up you can zoleo eachother lol. Sat phones are awesome but the expectation of every rider to have one isn't realistic, having a 300$ device is, and 99% of the time a simple message can solve the situation. There will always be that 1% situation where a satellite phone could be the difference between success and failure, But everyone having a sat communication of some sort is a good start.
I agree zolo is great. So is a t3. But i cant say its better than a g5 just because it cost less.
Get what im saying?

One could argue that the t3 offers more smiles per dollar pretty easily

Maybe if it would snow a guy could go ride, I don’t like sledding enough to go ride marginal snow, smack rocks and stumps and come back with $1000’s in damage. One more big storm and it’s go time but the forecast looks as gay as Narona sounds when he tries his sales pitch

I usually have 20-30 days in by now. We’re booked to do our first trip in two weeks. And it still might not snow lol

The thing about being a brand ambassador is a all costs you must take a higher road in these sorts of conversations . Sometimes the ditch is very easily found .
Its way easier to just pay for stuff.

Bought a zoleo last month used it here in sicamous last week was out tnere for 6 days stumps can still be found but great first ride really happy with the zoleo tho pretty simple to use snd nice it works off your phone
Well since this is now a communicator thread, the huge win IMO that gets glossed over is the inreach can be fully utilized standalone )as well as via the mobile app). 2 way communication, maps, compass, one device to keep charged. I bang up my not-as-robust iPhone, then what, I’m limited to zoleo sos right? Zoleo SOL! Haha
If I was shopping today I’d take a hard look at zoleo due to having my own number/email , but that’s about the only win in my books. The cost difference is a jug of oil and some beer who cares.

valid points, with the inreach standalone messaging its so annoying to type on that screen that i end up using my phone anyways. But your right, it is there if your phone fails. I wished inreach made a keypad model like the Spot.
