Right now, you can pick up the rarely-discounted Garmin InReach Mini 2 for just $299 in REI's winter sale. That's a giant savings of $100 off this life-saving device and the lowest price we've ever seen for this product.

But don't sleep on this deal - it ends December 2!

Here at Advnture, we're always telling you that a satellite communicator is an important piece of kit for backcountry adventures in case you need help and there's no cell service, but we're also the first to admit these safety devices are far from affordable.

The last time we saw the InReach Mini 2 at this price was for a few days back in the spring. It's typically closer to $399, so this deal gives you a full 25% in savings and is one of the best Black Friday Garmin deals available right now.

The Garmin InReach Mini 2, which launched last year, is tiny but powerful, letting you stay in touch with friends and family even when you've got no phone signal, and summon emergency help from anywhere in the world.

You can send messages to other InReach devices, and connecting the InReach Mini 2 to your phone via Bluetooth allows you to send text messages via satellite using the Garmin Messenger app. Sending an interactive SOS alert will connect you to a 24-hour emergency response center, which works with rescue teams worldwide to get you the help you need.

If you're searching for other Garmin GPS products at a good discount, we'll be scouring the internet for the best Black Friday Garmin deals to help you save on tech.
