Recommended Accessories

Waterproof Pouch for paddling

The RS-25M is designed to withstand occasional exposure to water, but it is highly recommended to use a waterproof pouch in applications where heavy exposure to the elements is expected, particularly when paddling, kiting, surfing or dinghy sailing. The pouch will keep wind noise and water off the mic for clearer transmissions, and safeguard the radio to ensure reliable function when you need it most, and it will extend the life of your radio. This Aquapac pouch fits the RS-25M snugly and can be added it to your basket at checkout. Get yours here.

Chest Harness for sailing

The ideal position to keep your radio is on your chest, where it is kept out of harm’s way, easily accessible and clearly audible. Use a harness to free up your hands and keep your mobility, while hearing every transmission clearly and responding easily when required.

This harness fits the RS-25M perfectly and includes a useful phone pouch. Get yours here.

Hands-free Headset

With a hands-free headset, you can keep your radio safely tucked under your jacket and still hear every transmission clearly, even in noisy environments. The mic clips onto your collar and features a PTT button for quick and easy transmissions. The plug screws watertight into the radio. Get yours here.
