The Winners:
DeLorme InReach Satellite Messenger http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Emergency-Electronics-Reviews/DeLorme-InReach-Satellite-Messenger Editor's Choice award winner for 1013. Gear Editor Chris Mcnamara states, "It's the easiest to use and by far the most reliable of all of the satellite messengers tested. Use it as a standalone device or with your cell phone which works great but can get expensive. But, you get what you pay for because it is very reliable and has a ton of great extra features."

ACR ResQlink 406 Personal Locator Beacon http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Emergency-Electronics-Revie... also winner of the Editor's Choice and Best Buy award as well, for 2013. The Best Buy award goes to gear that receives high scores on our analysis balanced with a reasonable price. Gear Editor McNamara reports, "The SOS function transmits your message at the highest wattage of power (5 watts) of all of the messengers tested and is likely the most effective of the bunch. It doesn't have a messaging plan so it is clearly the least expensive to own over a period of a few years which is why it also won Best Buy award as well."
