Know before you buy

The interior dimensions are 10” x 8” x 4”, which accommodates most standard over-ear headphones. We recommend measuring your specific headset when folded to ensure a comfortable fit within these dimensions.
Yes, the bag is padded to provide a buffer against minor bumps and impacts. It is specifically designed to keep small electronics and radio gear secure during transit.
The bag is crafted from 600D nylon with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. This provides reliable protection against light rain and splashes, though it is not intended to be fully submerged or waterproof.
The hook and loop closure is designed for quick access and reliable security during standard travel and field operations. If you are planning on extreme activity where the bag might be inverted, ensure the Velcro strips are pressed firmly to maintain a tight seal.
