Simple, secure, and effective, the Backpack Tether is an ideal way to keep your Garmin device…in reach (get it?) on the trail.
Garmin says:
This lightweight backpack tether is perfect for conditions that demand hands-free attention. The durable nylon harness wrap with hook-n-loop attachment can accommodate any style of strap with widths up to 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) and is Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) compatible.
The same hook-n-loop material also is used to easily stow your compatible Garmin device for optimal GPS performance while still providing access at a moment’s notice. When the device is detached from the hook-n-loop, the spine mount and lanyard cord - adjustable in length from 2 inches to 14 inches - ensure the device will stay with you at all times.
An additional Spine Mount Adapter is required when used with the inReach® Mini 2 device
