The Mountain Radio Kit pairs two license-free Mountain Radios with two Acoustic Headsets. Each radio runs up to 3–5 days on a lithium-ion battery built for cold, transmits at the 2-watt legal maximum, and reaches roughly 1–5 miles in backcountry terrain. The radios are designed for climbers, skiers and hunters who want a tough, no-setup radio, and the low-profile headsets add hands-free comms with a push-to-talk clip. Against generic FRS blister-pack radios, the kit's draw is the cold-weather battery, shatterproof screen and rugged housing rather than extra channels or features.

This kit includes two license-free Mountain Radios and two Acoustic Headsets. The radios were designed and tested in the Colorado Rockies with climbers and skiers in mind. They are compact and ready to use out of the box, with no setup or license required.
Each radio has a shatterproof LED screen and a thermoplastic protective housing. It comes with an ultralight carabiner and a backup leash. The radio is built to withstand drops, impacts and wet weather. A specialized lithium-ion battery provides up to 3–5 days of battery life, even in extreme cold.
The radio transmits at 2 watts, the maximum legal power for license-free use. Typical range is 1–5 miles in backcountry terrain, and up to 35 miles in ideal conditions.
