hmm.. for 100 bucks, this might be worth it.

what are the batteries like? my 2.5 hour run time light for my bike only lasts an hour in the cold, ON, when the led is hot and is "suppose to keep the battery warm"

ever ran a go pro on your helmet off, get to the riding area and its dead from the cold riding up the trail?

i just cant see these working, the tiny amount of draw they have wouldnt keep it warm enough even in a thermal wrap.

I'm not seeing that offer I do see the rebate for 50% off. I just became a customer a couple days ago and bought one.

I got an email from spot just before Christmas with the rebate offer.

There is no such thing as "cellular GPS". Cell towers can be used to augment the GPS location but that's it. GPS systems are space based and triangulate based on the number of satellites visible at any given time.

i think he meant to send the gps co-ordinates. the gps unit would have to be in range of a cell tower other wise pointless

I stand corrected..
I meant aGPS to be exact.
