Overview of the Boston Leather Firefighter's Radio Strap | 6543
Keep your radio secure and within reach
When your portable radio slides off your belt or buries itself under turnout gear, every lost second matters. The Boston Leather Firefighter's Radio Strap (6543) carries your radio high across your chest, so it stays put and drops into your hand fast. This is the 1 1/4 inch version, cut from 100% top grain leather with a rich finish and clean edge stitching that holds up to daily wear on the fireground.
Built for the job
Two leather mic loops keep your microphone routed and steady, while the positive locking buckle lets you dial in the length and stay there. The deluxe swivel snaps open easily even with gloves on, and you can add reflective trim for visibility at night. Firefighters, EMS crews, and fire police rely on the 6543 to keep communication close. Choose black, red, or cordovan with nickel or brass hardware.
