I looked at those Garmins a while back. How do you feel about the size and weight?

Inreach Mini is totally worth the weight, not just for SOS but texting people (2-way) or getting weather reports. I've used it just for meeting up with people who also had Inreaches in places with spotty reception (many climbing areas). On a big climbs you can send check in messages to people at home.

Ah, I was looking at the full size ones. How's the Mini's battery life?
