Custom Radio Strap Overview (Firefighter & EMS)
Our custom radio strap is built for the job—trusted as a firefighter radio strap and an EMS radio strap. Choose length, leather color, name stamping, mic keepers, anti-sway, and compatible holsters. Hand-stitched, riveted, and finished to handle heat, water, and daily abuse. If you need an EMS radio strap for long shifts and quick don/doff, this build covers it.
- Handcrafted and made to order, custom radio straps for every customer. Cut from premium leather made for serious duty every day.
- Please note that the basic listing is for the radio strap only. There are photos with optional upgrades shown such as radio holsters, anti sway straps, cord keepers, etc. All of these items are available as upgrades in the radio strap builder menu.

Firefighter Radio Strap
Purpose-built for firefighters: stable outside your turnout coat with optional anti-sway and mic keepers. Stays put on ladders and lines.
Why it works: stout leather + solid hardware = fewer slips, snags, and re-adjustments.
EMS Radio Strap
Designed for EMS: comfortable, low-profile carry during long shifts with fast mic routing and easy adjustments between rigs.
Why it helps: quick don/doff and a finish that wipes clean after calls.
Custom Radio Strap Sizing
Because no two people are alike, we offer three easy ways to get the strap exactly where you want it to sit:
- Use a cloth measuring tape over your shoulder to mimic strap position. Pinch at a comfortable position and record the measurement.
- Use a piece of string the same way, then lay it flat and mark the pinch point. Measure end-to-mark for overall length.
- Measure an existing leather radio strap end-to-end including hardware.
