Our Company

The Rocky Talkie is a backcountry radio that launched in late 2019 (view our product backstory video here). The improvements versus competitive products are numerous: durability, reliability, ease-of-use, size & weight, performance in the cold, etc. The product has a rapidly growing base of happy customers (see reviews here) in the USA and Canada. Although we initially designed it with climbers and skiers in mind, the radio has been adopted by a wide variety of outdoor enthusiasts and commercial applications. Our team has other products in the works for launch in 2022.

Our team is driven every day by the belief that better communication in the backcountry will save lives. As part of this mission, we donate $2 per radio to search and rescue teams around the country. Learn more about our company here.
