Highgear

Highgear

Highgear began in 1999, when outdoor enthusiast Mike Hosey set out to create a unique line of compact and affordable outdoor navigation watches and tools. Hosey was already an avid adventurer, having spent countless hours skiing at Sugar Mountain, mountain biking Bent Creek and hiking in the majestic Pisgah National Forest. With the goal of producing more convenient and functional wilderness watches and survival tools for outdoorsmen, Highgear came to full fruition in 2001 with a host of cutting edge, hand-held Highgear navigational devices, compasses, altimeter watches, pedometers, heart monitors and unique survival tools. Today, the innovators at Highgear spend hours brainstorming new ideas, making product improvements, and enhancing the functionality of their watches, radio flashlights and electronic navigation tools. The result has been the line of Highgear high-performance tools and multi-purpose watches that make outdoor life safer and more enjoyable. The result is Highgear.

Right out of the box the thermometer and barometer were spot on. The altimiter needs daily calibration, takes a second or two. Easy to read and extremely versitile display. I found it very easy to set up and use. The heart rate monitor chest band is suprisingly comforatable. Overall it's a great buy. I have recomended it to a bunch of like minded people without hesitation.

This product worked well in the "field" for me. Have trouble opening the mirror: could just be my old hands. FYI: the mirror is for signaling, not for reflecting your face. The magnifying glass is for fire starting, not for reading. The light works well.
