Garmin Backpack Tether (010-11855-00)

How simple is this? I have now used on a mountain bike, on a belt while doing a casual walk and on a backpack wth a more serious walk. It is excellent for all purposes. The Velcro attachment between the tether and the Gps is so robust that it will never detach from the anchor. And should it come loose the tether will ensure you won’t loose your GPS. So simple but a great solution for most active sports.

I had been looking for a system which kept my GPS easily accessible while on and off the track, without it getting in the way. This backpack tether is just what I was looking for. Velcroed to the strap of my pack, it holds the GPS steady and within easy reach. A second velcro strip allows the GPS to be removed to read and easily replaced into the tether without any issues. Just Great!

Exactly what I was looking for to mount the etrex on the shoulder strap on a backpack! Easy to put on, adjust and attach device!

Hope it’s as handy as I expect it to be.

Works fine for me. Simple and straightforward. But: Relies on two horizontal Velcro straps around the backpack strap. The problem with this is that if your backpack's straps get more slim as they go down, this attachment will slide down as there'll be nothing to stop it. Solution would be to pin a badge or something similar through the strap to hold it up, or place it above some external feature on the back strap like an elastic or similar.
