We are excited to introduce our GMRS radio with IP67 waterproofing, 5 days of battery life, and 5-watts of power for optimal range. This radio is fully compatible with our award-winning FRS Mountain Radio.

Designed and tested in the mountains and rivers of the Colorado Rockies, the radio is rugged with protective rubber padding and a shatterproof LED screen. Each radio is hand-tested to IP67 waterproofing standards (1 meter submersion) and includes a water-shedding design for quick communication in white-water.

The 5 Watt Radio maximizes two critical aspects of a backcountry radio: battery life and range. The radio includes a specialized 1800 mAH battery that achieves around 5 days on a single charge, even in frigid conditions (-20°F). The radio transmits the highest amount of power for handheld GMRS radios (5-watts). The max range is over 35 miles, however, 2 to 8 miles is typical in backcountry terrain. For more info on range, please see our range testing video.

Easily attach the 5 Watt Radio to packs and other gear using the integrated steel gator clip (with 360° rotation) and backup leash. The radio is also compatible with our Carabiner Attachment which comes with either the Quantum ultralight climbing carabiner or locking carabiner that we crafted with our local Colorado partner, Trango.

The 5 Watt Radio includes useful features for the backcountry, including access to 11 weather channels and NOAA weather alerts, as well as dual-channel monitoring and transmitting. The radio’s GMRS designation unlocks 8 repeater channels to relay & extend your transmission range, as well as a removable antenna.

Each radio comes with a compact and high-performance 7.5cm antenna installed, and our longer 17cm antenna is included in each box. The 17cm antenna moderately improves range and boosts weather channel reception.

The Waterproof Hand Mic provides a remote microphone, speaker, Push-to-Talk button, Volume control, and Dual Channel Watch (A/B) button, making your radio setup even more versatile. Stow your 5 Watt Radio in a pack and keep communication right on your shoulder with a lightweight full-featured hand mic that performs in heavy snow and water conditions.

Key features of the Waterproof Hand Mic:

Snow and Waterproof (IP67 submersible up to 1 meter)

PTT, Volume Control, and Dual Channel Mode (A/B) buttons integrated

Rotating 360° back clip for versatile attachment

Extremely compact and glove-friendly

Housing designed to reduce wind noise

Very loud volume for communication in noisy environments

When connected, both the radio and the hand mic can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water.
