iGuerburn Backpack Tether for Garmin inReach MINI/MINI 2 Handheld GPS

Just what I needed to secure my Inreach to a parachute shoulder strap. It twists 45 degrees to lock/unlock. I just wish that it had a more affirmative detent.

This product held up. On a recent canoe trip I hit a log and capsized. I had my inreach clipped to my bladder/backpack and when the canoe rolled, the Inreach got lodged underwater in a "v" in the tree. The backpack with the clip came loose and started downstream, but was hung on the Inreach. I was able to recover and swim back to the log and recover the inreach and backpack. The tether held strong. Unfortunately, it stretched out. So, now I'm in search of a new tether without replacing the whole thing. I have no issues recommending this item. It saved my Inreach.

While I have not taken this gadget out to field test it (it is not hiking season in my neck of the woods yet) I already attached it to my backpack to see how it works. It is super easy to attach the base part to the shoulder strap (the velcro closure lets you cinch it tight). Now, to attach the GPS first remove the existing clip from your GPS (in mine I lift the bottom of the clip and slide it down. The clip comes off easily). Now slide in the clip of the holder until you hear it click (the round part goes in first). To attach the GPS to the tether, angle the GPS to the 11:00 position on a clock until you feel it fall into place and then turn the GPS to the right until it is upright and securely attached. That's it! My only reservation about this mount is that this does not offer a locking mechanism when the GPS is mounted on the tether base. It is very easy to twist off to unmount it. I worry about accidentally nudging it while hiking and have it come loose. The attached cord should prevent it from falling on the ground, though. If it had that added safety feature I would have given it all 5 stars. A bit of added security would be ideal.

It is nice to be able to hold the GPS right there in front of you. It does slide down from time to time, but that does not create a big deal for me.

This Garmin InReach holder is surprisingly useful and actually helps. I use the Instinct 2 watch and InReach device together and it's actually really helpful to be able to have the Inreach strapped to the pack. You will feel the back of the holder a little bit on the shoulder strap but you get used to the feeling once it's fully set and in its proper spot. It locks and is easy to remove from the holder if you want to look at the device. Easy to use and highly recommend!

Well built absolutely met / exceeded my expectations. Gets my InReach quickly accessible and out of my hands.

While hiking the part that attaches to the gps back would not hold onto the unit for long and would often rotate out of the holder. I would bump the gps with my hand or while adjusting my pack and it would fall to the ground.

If you're using your Garmin Handheld and carrying a pack or a waist pack this product is a must. It converts the spine mount into a quarter turn mount like the edge uses. Really if you have an edge bicycle mount this product would make your spine mount device able to use your edge mounts also. I would buy this product again, actually I have 2 already, one for my day pack and one for my 2 day pack. In the spring time I will get a 3rd for my larger pack. That you guys from coming up with this product.

Se acomoda perfecto en la mochila

Very pleased with the functionality and quality of this product. Initially I thought it was a little pricey but when I considered its uniqueness I now feel the cost is fair.

Makes an excellent backpack strap holder paired with a Fjallraven Horizon Pouch, this combination keeps your GpsMap67 secure with the screen protected. If this device had a secondary safety latch it would provide a confident mounting, since that is not provided it can be scary to mount an 800.00 GPS.

Super pratique et facile d'utilisation. S'adapte à toutes les courroies de sac à dos. Je le recommande.
