This looks like something I would have designed in a freshman intro to engineering class.

Just got a FedEx shipping notification email, so it looks like we’ll have the second beacon next week.

I don’t think this is going to go well for BD / Pieps. The new harness is cute and all but I think they should replace the old beacons with dodgy switches.
I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

Wow. I am surprised and amazed!
Hi Hound,
Sorry for the delay in processing your claim. Due to the pandemic, we are behind in all services.
A replacement order of a new Pieps Powder BT Avalanche Beacon has been entered, and your item will ship shortly.
I have attached a shipping label for you to print and mail back the old DSP Sport.
Thank You,
BD service center

Well, the end of the saga happened today.
Got a note a couple days ago apologizing for mixing up my return - had to remind them upon receiving an email that I had received my return in Dec (true for one beacon) that I had sent in my Pro and Sport in the same return package (as requested) - and that due to issues with inventory I was getting a BD Guide.
Came home today and a package was waiting containing a Pieps Powder.
Despite the time, can't complain about the final result.
So tomorrow I have a day off and with kiddo in school, the wife and I can go on a little tour together.

As did I. Apparently the record of my covered beacon already being in their hands didn't get everywhere in their computer system.
I'm glad I got mine returned early enough to get a new beacon rather than the updated harness. It seems like it should address the issue, but the newer beacon gives me much more of a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Why are they asking us to carry something in a hard plastic case? Seems like their solution will lead to broken ribs. Bummer, I liked the beacon. Using the wife's Mammut now.

That hard plastic beacon case isn’t going to fit very well in my PIEPS Pocket™.

They are still offering the $100 replacement if you ask.

Someone should put their Pieps beacon over fire instead of under it.
