Start shopping for hand held GPS, VHF or other units, and you’ll quickly encounter the term “shock resistant.” But what does that mean?
Mad Mariner’s Smash Factor Hand Held Test seeks to find out. We invited 16 companies to participate and we tested models built by those who were brave enough to respond to the call.
It’s a safe bet that all hand held electronics will someday be dropped to the deck or elsewhere, no matter who you are or what you sail. Whether they survive or not is the question. Our test can tell you something about the probablilities.
Check it out, when you have some time.
