I have seem these on e bay and other places.
Don,t like the idea for the sewing.
I just bought 4 from Spud and Deb's in Pisagh Forest, N.C.
The ones he sells seem to be a lot better but I will not be trying them til about 2 weeks from now as I am out of town.
Will let all know how they work.
The collar doesn't have to do with waterproof.
Spud and Deb's collars are $15.

I JUST ORDERED 3 FROM BRUCE CONKEY - I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THEY TURN OUT - HIS ARE 20 A PIECE AND ARE THE REFLECTIVE COLLARS. I SHOULD BE GETTING THEM IN THE MAIL ANY DAY.

I did 3 in less than an hr, worked out great, there are already pre drilled for the holes in the main tracker and booster brackets - easy to change!!

Here is a link for the best one's I've seem yet, bar none.
Easy to change about 10 minutes.

Hey bluedogs, just wondering why the one side of the collar is black yet?

it has to cover the GPS cable that runs from bottom to top

Whats so special about these collar kits for twice the price?? Regular dayglos are about 6 bucks (gotta get the kind without the center ring) All you need is a nail and a butane torch to punch the holes and some shrink wrap (like for battery cables) and a heat gun (or you can even use the butane torch). They are not completley water proof but as much as the orginal Garmins are and it does not affect warranty.
