While I'm not a climber nor an extreme hiker, I do happen to find myself alone in areas without 4G/5G coverage and, getting older, the chances of being in need of an emergency call. So I'm considering to buy an Iridium texter in case of emergency. I see two products that are relatively affordable (Garmin InReach Mini 2 and SpotX Tracker):

Given that they have the same price, I'll probably go for the Garmin, having a strong reputation. A thing that is not completely clear, even from reviews, is how they work under a woodland canopy (I even put a question, but got very different answers).

Do you have any experience? I'm asking only for the hardware quality itself — of course another thing to evaluate is the service and related costs, but they are country specific.

Thanks.
