chest harness

[Otto Von Squiggy]

I have a VX-8 and would like to get a chest harness for the radio. All the ones I have seen are for the bendix king models and are two to three times the size of the radio that I have. Does anyone have an idea of where I could get one for a radio the size of a pack of cards?
Thanks

The very finest radio chest harnesses I've ever seen (and the ones I purchase for myself) are from Conterra: http://www.conterra-inc.com/index.php?cPath=10


They are adjustable for different sized radios. Since the Vx-8 is on the very small side a small block of foam underneath as a spacer may be valuable.

Their 'Trauma Pro' belt holsters are first rate, too. It's my go-to for a radio holster, even if I don't need the additional storage space.

Good info! Thanks for sharing.

Lone-Peak makes some nice ones too, many of the ski-resorts and other outdoor setups are using them here in town. http://www.lonepeakpacks.com/

I was given this Contera radio pouch for my job but I have ended up using it for mt. biking more than work. On long solo rides I cary my HAM in one pouch, cell in the other and it's just big enough to carry my Canon G7 in the center pouch. I wear my Camelback with it and everything is out of the way and easy to get to when needed and in cooler weather it help keep my chest warm on downhills.

I've got the conterra dual radio harness and I use it for my vx8r and also a kenwood tk2180 at the same time.

I have the Conterra dual radio harness. I use it for SAR (along with many other people on the team) and it is a great product. They are made very well, and in the US.

The tactical supply places like 511 Tactical and Blackhawk sell lots of this sort of thing.
