Hi guys,
 
Time I purchased a PLB, any reports on the good, bad & ugly. Must be waterproof and small for wearing on the ski. Any that should be avoided?

Thanks for that Fish4T, I have narrowed it down to McMurdo FF220 or RescueMe PLB1, now just to decide? Does the floating pouch easily attach to your life vest?

Hi guys Coastguard recommend this one, rather than a pouch one of these models comes with integral floatation. I don't own one (yet) but this is the one I will get. It may be of interest to you guys to read this thread where Coastguard discuss these PLB's following a recent accident on the Manukau Bar. http://www.hutchwilco.co.nz/category/5838
