VHF/UHF Handheld Radios:Aquapac

Layout Table~~~~596~596~~

Small VHF Classic (Code 224)~~
Overview:

You have bought yourself a new VHF Radio for your boat. Great - however you need to ask yourself two questions - is it waterproof? & does it float? If the answer to one or both of these questions is NO then you need to get yourself an Aquapac100% waterproof VHF Radio case. Once your radio is safe inside an Aquapac you will be able to use the radio as normal. The airtight seal ensures that it will float in water if dropped.

Details:

Suitable for both left & right hand antenna radios.
Guaranteed submersible to 5 metres (15 feet).
It will float with your radio inside.
Sound transmits straight through the TPU material.
The UV stabilized TPU material won't breakdown or become discoloured by sunlight.

Supplied with:

It comes with an adjustable neckcord so you can hang it round your neck.
It comes with our 3-year global warranty (see 'Buy with confidence' below).

How have you improved this case recently?

2008 sees us going '100% PVC-Free'. Our new material (TPU) offers a number of advantages:

It's softer & more malleable. Making it easier to operate your radio controls through the material
It'll perform much better if you want to take it somewhere really cold. It'll still be soft and malleable at -40º and below.
It has a greater tensile strength, meaning it's even more difficult to tear or rip apart.

How big is the case?

The small VHF Classic case is designed to accept most of today's VHF radios. To make sure that you choose the right case check out our Size guide.

We do our best to keep our size guides up to date but of course manufacturers are bringing out new models all the time. If you know something we don't, please feel free to Tell Us about it!

What our customers say:

"In the windsurfing environment, we are constantly testing the limits of the safety gear, so every improvement helps. I have been wearing the bag on my back using the three strap system and it is very comfortable and convenient… I have been very impressed with your products and will continue to recommend them. I work hard to get the windsurfers and kitesurfers to carry radios and without a bag they inevitably fail, even if they are submersible rated. The other benefit is that the bag eliminates wind noise on the mic which is critical when winds are 15-20 knots or more."
Peter Thorner, President, San Francisco Boardsailing Association

What the Press say:

"I'm sure that, like most mariners, you've often made a grab for your handheld VHF with your hand covered in salt or fish slime. Maybe you've even dropped one over the side while doing a nautical version of a "slippery pig". Well, I found a solution for all that and more with the 100-percent-waterproof Aquapac VHF radio case… Once closed, the Aquapac not only protects your important gear, it even floats. I sent one to a diving buddy of mine and he reported that the Aquapac did what its manufacturer claimed. He was even able to use his VHF while it was inside the case."

Carabiners (Code 907)~~
Our rustproof carabiners have a multitude of uses, and are particularly handy for attaching our cases to canoes, kayaks, motorbikes, etc. Recommended for use with all Aquapac cases.~Carabiners|905|~596~1644~~

Desiccant Sachets (Code 905)~~
In humid climates, moisture in the air inside the case can condense into water droplets. A sachet of desiccant will absorb any such moisture, keeping the contents completely dry. This desiccant indicates when no longer useable by changing colour. We strongly suggest its use with all Aquapac cases. Desiccant sachets are highly absorbent and environmentally-friendly.~Desiccant Sachets|351|~596~1643~~
