Garmin inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator
Why it made the list
For the solo hiker whose family worries: text home from places with no cell signal. Small enough to clip onto a pack strap.
A compact satellite communicator with a 1.3-inch screen that can send and receive text messages, share location and pair with a phone over Bluetooth. Garmin's page highlights emergency SOS messaging; a satellite service plan is sold separately. Shown in Flame Red; black also listed.
