RCP-1 Pro Radio Chest Harness for 2 Way Radio & Electronics | Search and Rescue, Ski Patrol, Emergency Response - Black

Very useful product for search and rescue squad use. I carry a radio, GPS, my iPhone, compass, a small first aid pack, extra batteries for GPS, notebook and pencil, marking pens, surveyor's tape, and several other items. It's easy to get on and off and most things are accessible. I recommend this product.

I've been looking at chest harness options for ARES/RACES public service work for awhile now and finally decided on the Coaxsher RCP-1 Pro. I haven't put it through its paces for a day long event yet but I have been getting a feel for it with shorter foot-mobile excursions around the neighborhood and this setup has everything I've been looking for. My primary HT fits nicely in either of the radio pockets. A backup HT or FRS/GMRS radio or GPS unit fits nicely in the second with battery packs in the battery pouch. There is plenty of extra room (and dedicated places) for pens/pencils, notebooks, small first aid kit and snacks. The pack and harness also fit well under my existing backpacks. The flashlight holder is a nice touch and can be moved to aim the light into the 'work area' of the pack for writing. I tend to prefer using a headlamp so this holder is superfluous for me but, it is easily removed.I would not say the system has any negatives but, it does have some quirks. The radio pockets are elastic and fit very tightly around my HT (Kenwood TH-D7). I'm pretty sure it is only a matter of time before I press buttons and change my radio settings while putting my pack together. Also, the radio pockets look like they will fit almost any portable radio but they have room for radios MUCH longer than my HT. The extra velcro strap seen on the main radio in the advertising wraps around nothing more than the antenna on mine and doesn't really do much. As a couple of other reviews mention, the strap system feels a bit small at it's largest extent. I'm a typical men's large and, with a sweatshirt on, the pack and straps are just on the edge of fitting comfortably. With full winter layering or, for someone with a larger torso, this could give a very negative first impression. The strap size can easily be fixed with addition of some velcro one-wrap or the pack can be attached directly to the shoulder straps of a backpack. Since I tend to use a pack in situations where this would be a problem, I will just be attaching the Coaxsher directly to my pack. Coaxsher really should add some upward adjustability.

The zipper broke after a couple of months...and the radio pouch is too small for a regular sized work radio. Other than that, the adjustability and versatility are great

I BOUGHT 3 CHEST VESTS AND RETURNED THEM ALL THEY HAD NO LOWER STRAP ADJUSTMENT JUST ELASTIC WHICH WERE VERY TIGHT. THIS RADIO VEST HAS 3 POCKETS FOR RADIOS AND PHONES. THE MAIN POCKET IS LARGE ENOUGH TO CONCEAL JUST ABOUT ANY HANDGUN AND OTHER STUFF. I ALSO BOUGHT THE EXTRA LARGE STRAP SET SO I CAN WEAR THE CHEST VEST OVER A JACKET. COST MORE BUT WHAT YOU PAY FOR IS WHAT YOU GET.

Harness is comfortable and has a wide range of adjustment for bulky clothing. Not sure what the folding zippered pouch between the radio and GPS is for (spare batteries, energy bar, monocular ??). The radio pouches are elastic and not truly adjustable to fit different size radios. So the pouches do not allow for easy removal and re-insertion. My ICON F-1000 (small 5 watt VHF radio) is a tight fit so the lapel mic is a MUST but changing freq's will be a struggle with gloved hands. Ditto with my Garmin GPSMAP 66. I will need to do some sewing to modify it for greater field worthiness and versatility. There is a small loop on the upper corner that is VERY handy: the loop keeps longer "rubber-ducky" antennas from flopping about.

Quality product with plenty of storage . Will definitely be willing to buy this and other products from manufacturer.

Much has already been said and most of the accolades are correct. Front radio and accessories pockets up front are good. Pen holders etc are all good. However, materials are a bit lacking. Typical made in China quality. Don't know how long it will last. I have had my radio in the elastic radio pouch for about 5 months and you can already see some deformation of the elastic. Shoulder straps are thin, and adjustability could be improved. I wear L and found the harness snug. The fold down feature is gimmicky as the elastic used is pretty flimsy. The main compartment pouch is limited. This pack is sewn like a pancake offering no depth to the compartment. Once you put a compass, a notepad, 2 maps, and a food bar, the edges warp looking like a black plastic bag filled with air. It has very little capacity. I purchased it as my HAM, GPS, PLB holster, maps, compass and essentials kit. It was almost there. Got everything in the but the essentials. Cant carry many essentials in it as it has no depth. However if it's for Radios and some minimal administration stuff, I think it fits the bill. Don't believe all the hype, this harness is not perfect. Materials could be better. For now it will do.

It is well put together and so far is very durable. It fits comfortably by adjusting the straps and once you have it right where you want it, its comfortable. I am a larger guy but it still fits as expected. I hold two radios in mine. Yesu 750R and a smaller BAOFENG radio. I also have room for notebooks and pens. I keep my cell phone mounted in it when I am in range. nothing has worn out and it looks new still.The straps feel like it was intended for larger radios and is hard to work with your radio once it's mounted. I use a mic that I clip to my left shoulder strap so it worked out fine for me. I do the same for the smaller BAOFENG radio and it is also difficult to work with once in the strap. I am not using it exactly how the description was describing so I would keep that in mind. Despite this, I still really like the Harness. Radios with long batteries at the base will fit perfectly.
