RP-1 Scout

I had tossed around the idea of getting a chest harness for some time and now that I have one, what a difference it makes! I had the opportunity to use the RP-1 Scout in a recovery effort in the last few days and it really was convenient to have an easy to access location for a Radio, GPS, Pen and paper. Things that would normally clutter pant pockets or utility belts had a well organized location on the Scout harness. The larger of the two pockets on the RP-1 Scout held a Motorola XTS 1500 radio just fine while the smaller of the two pockets holds radio such as a Kenwood TK-360 or a GPS/Cell phone. I was able to try the harness in a sweater, operational jacket and Float Coat all of which the harness was comfortable and easily put on and taken off. With about 15 hours of use since I received the RP-1 Scout three days ago I have not yet found any flaws or drawbacks to this model.

We bought one for every member of our VFD, they work great on EMS and Wildland fire incidents. Quality and durability are great, we've been using these for 5 years now. They are an excellent value for the money, especially since we're self funded.

Well l'll give it a 4. Not as well made as I expected-I really don't think it will last long if bought for hard use. At the price point it will do well for bug out or emergency use. Fits well, the pocket is nice for writing supplies, maps etc. radio pocket is small and elastic. Fits a baofeng, with extended battery(I think it was designed for that) my Yaesu and Icom are too tight- they fit but the elastic pouch causes me to struggle to pull out and put back in. GPS pouch is too snug to easily use with my Garmin map62. Flashlight pocket is tall and thin like for a maglight mini. Basically my have to take the harness off to replace equipment. If you can live with those limitations then buy it. I'm keeping it as I think I will find a use for it in the emergency kit. Meanwhile I am still looking

I am a race coach and this harness works perfect. It fits our Motorola radios in the radio holder. There's a spot for a pen, a pouch for random paperwork and another holder which I use for gate ties. It fits easily over a ski jacket but also fits comfortably over just a hoody or t shirt on warmer days. My only complaint is that every time I take it off the straps readjust - something which does not happen on more expensive options. Even with that complaint, I'd still buy this again and recommend it to anyone who works at a ski area.

Nice construction, well thought out. I like the lightweight and ergo build quality. Shipping was very fast, price reflects value in this quality piece. Thank you so much !

Decent quality and works well. It's very small dimensionally. I am a bigger guys and it fits fine but main part of it is itty bitty. It's fine just looks kind of silly. I wish it had a little rigidity to it, the fabric is just flimsy no backing or anything to make it a bit stiffer. Bending and things it can push the radio up and out of it's holder. If I was using this everyday I would want something a bit more substantial.

Perfect size for a single radio application with other slot open for flashlight, cell, spare battery, whatever is needed. The adjustabilty of every anchor point is why I favor this unit over the dozens of other options available. The best part of this style is that it does NOT impede the use of pockets or pen slots on shirt under the harness, and its angles still allow badges/name tags to remain visible. I will be sticking with this product and reordering annually if necessary. It holds the radio tightly, but keeps the controls in east reach at all times. I use mine for 12 hour shifts and is barely noticeable; I assumed it would make me sweat like mad between pecs, but it does not make it uncomfortable, and we do some short-term work on 100+degree decks. Top-recommendation for any other fellow Operators or Emergency Response Team members out there, great piece of gear for the money. (Beth's Husband)

I've been using mine for about a year. Works great to hold my Motorola radio and essentially two phones, one below the radio and the other inside the pouch. I like that it holds the radio antenna towards the left, allowing me to still get into my work rig and put my seat belt on without issue.

Super ergonómico y funcional, buen material de elaboración

VHF aerials need to be upright...

Very useful for carrying around more than one radio and having accessories ready and easily accessible on your chest. Fits well over coats and still allows for easy motions of getting in and out of vehicles regularly.

I returned the item. It fits nicely for a women’s shape but the Velcro straps on top of shoulders are uncomfortable with a back pack. I might have kept if it had not been so expensive. Will be looking at other options.
