A fencer will have BICEPS, they seem to be intended for people with very skinny arms unless they have changed the style since I ordered mine a few years ago.

Can't recommend these guys enough. Retailer is in Aus but the beacons can be registered here. The seller is really helpful and has very good customer service.

My KTI, with its zip-up clamshell protector, fits snug into one of the Osprey's AP Grenade pouches.

He might be referring to the military surplus in Wellington or k road Auckland.

Neither. Got mine from my brother in law who retired from the UK army.

Try evilbay.

Elio's Gunshop in Dunedin had one hanging at back of the shop a fortnight ago, if that is of use to you.

A few here https://www.armyandoutdoors.co.nz/collections/pouches

I'm a skinny fencer (slim if you're being nice) but even slim can fool people sometimes (like the 19 year old who tried me on with a crush handshake the other day - turned the tables on him and later saw him nursing it haha)

The armband just isn't suitable for the work I do. I'll keep thinking.

so what does one look for in a plb? never used or seen one, about to be over the hill so to speak, not as fast or agile as I once was starting to think of safetynow finally after 30 years of running amuk in hills

Not sure to be honest. I bought the k t I one off skippers mate for 300 bucks. There was a thread on them on here and they seemed to get good reviews.

It's not the smallest size. There's a smaller one for a bit more. But the main things are the transmission frequency and battery life I think. Mine is good for ten years so only costs 30 a year. Best value for money out there.

KTI seemed the pick of the bunch when I got mine too. Add to this that my mates all chose the KTI without knowing I had got one or that and without me knowing they were looking....
