"Dear Coaxsher, Inc.:

My name is Stephen Levitt and I work for the Bureau of Land Management, Carson City District in Reno, Nevada as a Fire Engine Operator.  I recently bought your FS-1 Ranger pack and absolutely love it.  Thank you for the great thought and craftsmanship that went in to the pack.

I am currently going into my 7th season as a wildland firefighter with the BLM.  During my past seasons I have tried fire packs from Thielsen, Nimrod, Eagle Pack and my current Ranger Cougar pack.  All of these packs hang real low and the fire shelter hits my butt when hiking.  I found a way to prevent the fire shelter issue with my Ranger Cougar pack but my arms fall asleep within 30 minutes and the main pack is too small.  Last year I bought a Wolfpack Mack Daddy fire pack but the waist belt was coming unstitched out of the box.  I returned it the next day.

When I saw your FS-1 Ranger pack on the internet it caught my attention instantly.  After receiving the pack, I loaded all my gear into it (40 lbs worth) and adjusted it to what I felt to be the most comfortable fit.  I hiked for an hour out in the hills with it and love how the load was carried.  The fire shelter sits in the perfect spot, there is plenty of room for my gear, the craftsmanship is superb and I didn't feel any pain in my shoulders whatsoever.

-Feel free to use any of what I have written in your reviews.

 

Sincerely,

Stephen Levitt

Fire Engine Operator, BLM, Reno, NV."


"On my many quests to find a perfect way to hold my radio, after a late-night search on the Internet I finally stumbled upon the Holy Grail of radio chest harnesses made by Coaxsher. The units are comfortable, functional, durable, affordable, and flexible. Everyone who checked out this radio chest harness said it felt great."

"Just thought I would drop you a quick note to let you know I received the radio vest I ordered from your company in the nick of time- I got it Friday afternoon, dropped it off at the fire base with my  wildland gear Saturday morning, and that afternoon, got called out for a 100+ acre wildland fire.   The radio chest harness worked great, no problems with the Kenwood radios that our fire department uses- last week I borrowed a Motorola radio harness from our assistant chief, for some live fire wildland training, and I had continual problems with the radio wanting to fall out of the harness.  No such problems with your pack!  In and out of a Type-6 engine all afternoon, and running around fighting multiple flanks with no problems of the radio wanting to leave my company!  The vest was very comfortable to wear, and everything worked fine.

 

Thanks for a great product in the nick of time!"

"Hey,  My name is Mindy Badovinatz and I just received my new RCP-1 Pro radio chest harness today and must say that I love it. I am a member of the Rocky Mountain Rescue dogs here in Salt Lake City, Utah. We are a non-profit volunteer k9 search and rescue group. Currently our group is growing by leaps and bounds and as we order more radios for members, we have a need for more radio harnesses. I know that there are going to be a lot of people interested in my new harness.

 

Thank you very much, Mindy

P.S. you guys have a wonderful product."

Mindy - K9 Search and Rescue handler with Rocky Mountain Rescue Dogs


"To Whom it May Concern - I would like to take a moment to say thank you for making such a great product as the RCP-1 Pro Radio Chest Harness.  Prior to purchasing the RCP-1, I had owned several radio harnesses and the RCP-1 is by far the best radio harness that I have come across.  It's many pockets and large storage pouch make it an ideal harness for our search and rescue activities.  And the price cannot be beat.  Several members of my team have taken notice of your product and have purchased a harness for their personal use.

I will not hesitate to recommend your products.  Thanks for making a great product at such a reasonable price."

Sincerely,

Louis Villa - Unit Coordinator, Sonoran Search and Rescue


Customer wearing RCP-1 Pro radio chest harness "The RCP-1 Pro Pack worked wonderfully the day I used it. I used it during the Inaugural Parade and was busy moving in and out of a vehicle and the pack really never bothered me. With the placement being high upon my chest and not on my waist, putting on a seatbelt was not a problem. The pack kept me looking professional in my uniform. Most of my coworkers looked envious of the pack and wanted to have one of their own. Thank you for your great product!

"Sir,
Today's society lack many things such as the basic concept of "do your job." Your e-mail is why I will continue to purchase from you, in fact you probably have received other orders from people at my facility because I gave them your business address. I told them that your products are excellent and the service is fantastic. Thank you very much for contacting me to inform me of the back order. My wife and I have to go out and drag information out of companies that we are doing business with. It is a relief to receive quality service every now and then and your company is one example. Kevin, copy this e-mail to your boss because you did not have to "do your job" and follow up on the back order notification to me. Once again, thank you."

"Hey Guys,
I've been using your product for years and nothing else comes close!!! I'm writing to see if it would be possible to get your RCP-1 Pro radio chest harness within the next 7 days. Reason being is that I lent mine to a team-member and it "magically" disappeared!! Actually, he says his dog ate it and that I believe!! ha-ha Anyway, we've got a mock search and rescue mission coming up along with a local summit, and I'd like to have it to use and to show all of the participants that will be attending. I'd be grateful beyond belief as I can't go into the field without it!!!"

"Goods have arrived and we are very happy with them. We will be using them on the ski slopes as volunteer Ski Patrollers. Once again thank you for your prompt service."

Customer wearing RP-1 Scout radio chest packNot sure if you remember me but I purchased a radio chest harness from your company for Soloing Big Walls In Yosemite. Well here it is in action. Sorry for the tough guy face (I had a mouth full of water when my buddy snapped the photo).
Thanks for the great product. More pics to come.

"Unbelievable! That's the only word I can think of. Kind of makes the regular ones look wimpy. I love it, my crew is looking at it and are wondering how I found it. The quality is better than anything else being made today."

John Maynard - Deer Mountain Fire Department


"You folks are OUTSTANDING...I got the radio chest pack today, it is very well made, and I love it. Thanks very much. Best wishes for a happy Holidays to everybody there."

Bill Pirtle


"I received the RCP-1 Pro radio chest harness about a week ago and to be quite honest, it surpassed all my expectations. You guys have an extremely well designed product with exceptional attention to detail. Thank you! Products such as this make a tough job a lot more manageable."

Thanks again,

Bruce Wall - Vail Mountain Rescue Group


"I will certainly be pushing the group members to check out your radio chest pack. The pack has been the best piece of equipment that I constantly use for any SAR activity. Again, let me say that you've got a great product and I'm extremely pleased with mine! Good luck in the future."

Steve Sperry - El Paso County Search & Rescue, Colorado Springs, CO.


"I was looking for a good radio chest harness and did a search on Google, fortunately for me I came across your site. It will be perfect for the type of job I do. It was a pleasure doing business with you."

Grant - Forestry Industry


"I received my new RP-1 Scout radio chest pack. I fitted my radio to it and it fitted perfectly, so all I am waiting for is my new Garmin 60CSx to arrive and I will be ready to give it a good test thrash Kiwi style. With the summer season approaching we might get a few more callouts so I will give you feed back as soon as it has had a good trial period. Many thanks for your time and helpfulness."

Dear Kyle:

I am writing to express our satisfaction with your product.

In 2003, the Ephrata Fire Department received funding from the Washington Wildland Fire Assistance Grant Program to add portable radios to three of our wildland engines to improve firefighter safety and tactical coordination.

To support the project, the Ephrata Fire Department selected Coaxshers’ RCP-1 Pro radio chest harnesses. The decision on Coaxsher was made after evaluating several products from different manufacturers. All products were assessed on the merits of their durability, comfort, storage capacity, functionality and price. We were also impressed with your customer service abilities demonstrated by your personal interest in meeting our needs.

As you know, Eastern Washington wildland firefighting is an aggressive task which requires equipment which can survive under demanding conditions. I am happy to report the RCP-1 Pro chest harnesses have performed exceptionally, and our firefighters love them. We have yet to discover a way to damage or break one of your RCP-1 Pros, and believe me, if there was a way to make one fail, we would have found it by now.

A qaulity product at a great price backed by excellent customer service makes Coaxsher RCP-1 Pro, in our eyes, a best buy. We look forward to purchasing more of your products to support our fire control efforts.

Best regards,

Kyle Foreman, Battalion Chief Ephrata Fire Department


"I've been a K9 handler for Search and Rescue for over 5 years and I have to say that your pack and it's ability to

quickly adjust to the needs at hand (whether I just need a small urban pack or need more supplies to handle the

PNW wilderness conditions) is the best I've seen. It's so easy to organize equipment and either add or subtract

units as needed for a search without having to completely pull apart a backpack. Very user friendly. Thanks for

your great product!

Certified K-9 Handler, K-9 Special Teams


"I really like the SR-1 pack; we are using it for a deployment bag for the USAR team. It is a great size and is so

adjustable for configuration that the guys can take as much or as little as they want with them.  Thanks for making a great product that is holding up really well."

 

Captain Andre Straubhaar

Black Jack FPD/ St. Louis USAR 3


"RP-1 Scout - Review - This is the finest low profile radio chest harness. It holds all the SAR essentials (pen, map, radio, GPS) and is comfortable to wear. Navigating through heavy brush while wearing the RP-1 and a pack is a K-9 handler's next best friend... Thank you for a great product and our whole team will have them soon."

Kurt Hornicek, Team Leader, Thurmont K-9 SAR, Frederick Cnty. Maryland.


"I’ve been involved in search and rescue for many years and have experimented with just about all types of vests,

backpacks and bags you can think of for search and rescue. I’ve had products custom made tailored and

adjusted. I’ve used all of these products as a ground ponder, as part of incident command, as a trainer and

certified canine handler. Laughably I have a closet full of SAR gear gone wrong. I also have a truck full of SAR

gear done right. Coaxsher Endeavor and Recon from the SAR line are at the pinnacle of SAR gear done right. Its

flexibility to expand for larger carrying capacity or reduce for regular duty and hasty missions allows me to work

longer more efficiently and more effectively in the field. I consider it one of my 11 essentials for wilderness search

and rescue. Great product!!!!"

 

Jeff Isaly

President/Co-Founder, K-9 Special Teams


 

"I have been very pleased with the FS-1 Ranger pack. Its quality is outstanding in both workmanship

and materials. The features included in the pack have provided me with the essential abilities I needed from

a pack and then some. It’s versatility in allowing me numerous options for ways to set up the pack, has

allowed me to customize it to fit my needs. Definitely a product that lives up to the expectations."

 

Brad Vosburg

Training Officer, Renner Fire Rescue


"The FS-1 Ranger pack proved to be a very comfortable/spacious fire pack. After purchasing it last

spring I used it on several fires in Nevada, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. The pack was very comfortable

in all aspects of those fire assignments. Overall Excellent Pack !!!"
