DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Access and Ergonomics
This pouch is designed to hold your VHF radio high on your vest, making communication instant without you having to dig through pockets. The position gives you fast access to the mic and buttons, perfect for alerts or coordinating with your crew. Its low-profile design won't interfere with your torso rotation or arm movements during transitions.
Compatibility and Size
The VHF Vest Pouch fits most life jackets and impact vests, and can be worn on the shoulder or chest area depending on your gear. Its universal size fits most standard handheld radios. Just check your radio's dimensions before buying to ensure a secure fit. This versatile design makes setup easy, regardless of your equipment.
Materials and Construction
This pouch is made from high-quality, flexible neoprene that delivers protection and durability in marine environments. The material absorbs light impacts and helps shield your radio from water, while still feeling comfortable against your vest. The construction is low-profile and built to withstand repeated use on the coast.
Attachment and Hold
The velcro closure system provides a quick, secure attachment to your vest. The pouch stays put even during technical riding, giving you confidence in heavy conditions or when making emergency calls. It's designed to keep your radio accessible without getting in your way.
On-Water Use
Positioned correctly, the pouch makes communication seamless during key moments like launching, landing, or coordinating with others on the water. Its compact shape minimises the chance of snagging and stays comfortable through all your movements. Please note: the VHF radio is not included; this pouch is designed to hold standard handheld models.
Buying Advice
Before buying, please check your radio's dimensions to ensure a secure fit. You should also confirm it's compatible with your specific vest, particularly if it's a very low-profile model. We highly recommend this pouch for any rider who needs their radio handy without tying up their hands or getting in the way of their riding.
