Absolutely love these radios if you hike ski or rock climb a lot this will be very handy for you if there is a partner that you have or you just need to stay connected, I will recommend! But I do not think it should be worth $100 but yeah, other than that I would recommend!

Great reception Love the radio in case of emergency Very clear Very useful when driving in two separate cars.

Purchased 6 pairs for lifeguards. Dropped all of them in water and they all floated back to the top. Compatible with non-Motorola radios used for non-water activities. Unfortunately, all were stolen, so I purchased another 6 pairs. Tested two recently when two lifeguards were practicing lifesaving maneuvers in the surface of the pool water. Never went below a few feet (less than three), radios stayed on them the whole time and they were in the water for less than five minutes. Now, these two radios have issues with charging. Contacted Motorola for service as this is covered under warranty.

Bought these walkie talkies for kayaking. So far they work great. Sturdy, and really like the flashlight, and weather update option on it. Haven't dropped it in the water (hopefully not ever) so can't say if waterproof. Range is decent, Get too far ahead or around a cove and it becomes static.

They are good for short distance. I was looking to use them for longer distance.
