I absolutely 100% DO NOT recommend anyone buy a ZOLEO GPS/SOS device and I explain why in this video.

I learned from first hand experience that you need a better device than ZOLEO currently offers. In a real-world rescue situation ZOLEO just doesn't cut it and my opinion will not be changed.

This video may stir up some controversy but it is my own opinion. When you are in a life threatening situation you need a better device. Do not be cheap when it comes to your safety. Spend more money if you have to on a better device or you could die.

I bought my ZOLEO at REI so I was able to return it and get another brand instead. If you are a ZOLEO owner, watch this video and really think about what I'm saying here. Maybe you can trade yours in too. I now own a Garmin Messenger, and it wasn't much more money than a ZOLEO.

Your life is worth the extra cost.

I am not sponsored by any company and have never been paid for anything I've done on this YouTube channel. This is my own honest opinion and I want to share what I've learned.
