Have only been using it for the past week or so but was put though it's paces in the Canadian Rockies and worked like a charm. Was happy it fit so snugly. Solid construction.

Love it

A few months in & works great so far! Would highly recommend. The colored LED is a nice touch. If only Core could do something about the FX9 chewing through batteries like cheap gum :) :) :)
