Lauren Hayhurst (verified owner) –
We purchased Rugged PRO cases for use by field sampling crews at a remote research station. The material is more durable than the VHF classic cases, and the double seal (ziplock and velcro) feature is well-suited for work on and around lakes. Despite the thicker material, radio buttons are easily pressed and calls are clearly heard through the case. Big fans of the safety orange colour!

We found the TrailProof PRO case easy to place the radio in, and found the materials to be a lot more rugged, after a number of uses it still looked brand new!
