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 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!!

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.
