I've carried the same model for three years. It floats. I use it year round for a variety of outdoor activities and I carry it in my car in the winter should I skid over a hillside (that happens around here).

Acrartex has some new models, but one model that they introduced last fall was discontinued so beware of buying the discontinued model if you find it cheap. If you use the device for a legit rescue, Acrartex gives you a new one.

I use a pouch similar to this for secure attachment to parachute harness http://www.amazon.com/Military-Surpl...urplus+pouches

They are not too hard to find cheap and some websites give an accurate description of size. Get a pouch with a reliable Fastex buckle closure (not a snap)
