Customer Reviews:
Easy to UseApril 5, 2008 I used the lifelink slope meter last weekend and it is easy to use and easy to read. The size of it is fine if your doing a complete snow profile and have to have your backpack open anyways. However, it isn't something that you can easily shove into a pocket. Way easier than using a compass but is rather pricey for what it is. It seems durable so hopefully it's a once only type of purchase.
