Great product for the price.

In general I like the product. I ended up ripping a few stitches with a seam ripper on one of the radio flaps to fit my scanner and attach with Velcro. Rear cross-section below. An adjustable snap strap can be sewn onto the back straps to better center your back. When I wear a walkie-talkie and scanner on a chest strap, it tends to pull in the stronger direction. Great product for the price.

  • Basically ok, but...

Slightly small: Accessories

The product description says it can hold two full size Motorola radios, but on my XTS2500 only about 1/8 inch Velcro which is not enough and the radios fall off easily when using the SAR. As in the other review, I'm wondering if it's worth detaching the pen holder for it to work. Other pockets are also a bit small. My phone barely fits in the back and the front center pocket is quite small. Otherwise great design, comfortable, good price.

Good quality for the price

I used it for work on the route of the Christmas parade. The fit was great, comfortable with the jacket. It was a night parade and we were told the reflective details worked. A good choice for the price. Pros: Easy to install and adapt to any size radio. Reflective strips for night use. Feels durable with durable stitching. Large pockets on the body for small documents and first aid kit. Cons: The center front pocket was small, but I would suggest making it a transparent pocket with a window so

Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Does not fit today's size HT

The idea of this radio holster is great, but the execution isn't that great. It is well designed and allows you to adjust the wearing comfort. However, there is no point in keeping at least the XT that I have. The strap that wraps around the HT and fastens with Velcro is not long enough to fit my Kenwood D74, My Yaesu FT2 and barely fits a Kenwood F6 or BaoFeng. I think if someone split the stitching for the pen holder and extended the radio range then this holster could fit a modern HT but…

Cons
  • Security

Waste of time and money if you want a legitimate product.

I thought for a minute that this is the best toy for one of my grandkids... Extremely small even with the straps on her max I couldn't wear it and I have a 42 inch chest. The front center pocket, which in its ad shows a smartphone doesn't fit a pack of cigarettes. The zip pocket on the back, which looks big enough to fit most smartphones, fits something less expensive, but you definitely won't get one no iPhone or larger Galaxy Note. this and every bag. If you need a serious radio vest this…

Cons
  • High price

I had to modify it for thick radios

I've been using it for a week now. In general, this will work for me, but I'm definitely having some issues.1. My radios are a little thicker because they have a microphone cable plugged in. Because of this, they didn't fully fit in the pocket. I took a razor and trimmed the stitching on the pen holders on the sides of each one, which made the bag look larger and the radios are now all the way down. It seems that the adjustment straps don't stay in place. They dissolve and I have to correct…
