Thanks Cole, any idea which of these would be more similar to the original liner in terms of fit? I assume the Evos would be a bit tighter around the shin and calf due to the extra padding there?

This is the best beacon currently on the market. It's got a huge search range, a high-resolution display that tells you exactly what to do (hopefully you're well-practiced anyhow, but having the screen instruct you in case you panic is a great backup), and great processing speed.

When touring I have the option to wear a hood underneath if it's cold, wear it as is if it's a bit warmer, or take out the ear covers if it's really warm. I love having all the options!
I (thankfully) ...
