    Good call out. Would hate to need to grab it and it not be there.

    Nice to point out for people, I keep mine in a convenient pocket rather than rely on the strap

    I use a Twinneedle Small Radio Pouch to hold my ACR Res-Q-Link + PLB. Fits in perfectly and it is bomb proof. I didn't trust the neoprene & velcro pouch it came with, wouldn't survive 5 minutes in the Kaimais.

    @Bryan. I have the same PLB and the neoprene pouch it came with didnt last. Been looking fo ra pouch that will be nice and snug. You find teh top to the Twin Needle is sufficient? That was my only doubt.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    @kiwijames

    Yup its plenty strong enough. Has a strong bungy paracord attached to a strong plastic clip. Quality materials used and very well made and my PLB doesn't budge in there. I just tightened the cord until it was a super snug fit. Went this way verses their larger radio/plb pouch as it would have been too long.

    The KTI's seem to have a solid case, will check the belt loop though.
