In this video, I give you a hands-on review and guide to the ZOLEO Satellite Communicator. I've taken this unit into the backcountry for a few months and tested it in various conditions across the Pacific Northwest and Southern California. From emergency SOS capabilities to real-world battery life and messaging features, I break down exactly how the ZOLEO stacks up—especially compared to the popular Garmin inReach.

The ZOLEO shines for those of us who use our smartphones as our primary backcountry tool. It’s cheaper than an inReach, the battery lasts longer, and you get a consistent phone number and email address, which is a small but very helpful feature. The app is intuitive, and the unit is rugged, weather-resistant, and simple to operate—even in a tough spot where you can’t rely on your phone.

I also walk through some of ZOLEO’s unique features, like seamless messaging that defaults to Wi-Fi or cell before using satellite, and the optional location sharing service. While it lacks premium weather reporting and some of the advanced tracking of a Garmin, it holds its own in terms of reliability and simplicity.

This video is a solid starting point if you're deciding between ZOLEO and other satellite messengers. And if you're a seasonal hiker or just want basic check-ins and messaging, the basic $20/month plan with ZOLEO is a great value.
