ACR Bivy Stick

Small but powerful, the ACR Bivy^® Stick is a satellite messenger with global Iridium coverage that you can pair to your smartphone. It is an indispensable tool for the well-prepared hiker that lets you text and share your location with friends -- even from remote locations where cellular coverage is unavailable.   In an emergency, an SOS button on the Bivy Stick allows you to notify Global Rescue. Here are more key features of the Bivy Stick:

• Each Bivy Stick has a unique US number for receiving text messages
• Ultralight 100 gram device doesn't way you down on the trail.
• Share your location with friends using a social media app
• SOS button for contacting Global Rescue
