Collar transmitters - 3 big buttons?

I've had sportdog products forever, but on my most recent trip I found myself wishing my handheld was...better.

The little side button for Tone is too small, and with gloves I have no idea if I am actually pressing it.

Having to use the dial to switch from Vibe to Stim is a pain, and while you can program button functionality somewhat the option I want is not available.

I'd like to have three big buttons I can use with gloves:

One for Tone
One for Vibe
One for Stim (& some way to toggle continuous or nick...and of course a dial to set level)
[Or: a fourth big button so both Nick and Continuous are instantly available]

Does such a collar/handheld exist?
 
I have a Garmin Sport Pro and like it. It meets your requirements. The only thing that would make it better would be if you could lock the dial at a specific setting.

Thank you - I like it! Are the smaller buttons still big enough to confidently manipulate with gloves?
 
I don’t have tone, but my dogtra has big buttons for vibe, continuous and nick. Their other collars might be the same set up with 4 buttons, to include tone.

I have the exact same unit. I don’t have issues wearing thin shooting gloves. FWIW the gloves I’m wearing most of the time are PIG Alpha
 
I haven't had any trouble while wearing gloves, but i don't wear anything very thick. I bought an Alpha 300 this year for GPS capability and its buttons aren't nearly as good.
 
Alpha 100 will fit your bill just fine, large buttons that are easy to find and there is 3 of them that can be customized. I only use tone and stim but vibrate is easy to add as well. Or multiple dogs it works too.
