They are well made and seem to be water proof (or at least water resistant) and have some really nice features (weather radio, flashlight, etc)

The radio also has an easy to use LED flashlight, which is handy when camping!Other than the expected short range when used in town, this more than meets

I just got these so I am still learning about all the functions, but this does have an LED flashlight embedded in the housing, and you can get weather alerts

The little LED flashlight feature worked fine for use in a pinch

But don't test this walki-talkie by dropping it in the water, you will certainly damage.- Voice-activated transmission frees hands for other tasks- Built-in LED flashlight

The LED flashlight is located on the bottom (base) of the unit and is activated using a button just beneath the talk button.

When l figured out how they work it was poorly

Last summer, I reviewed a different brand of Walkie Talkie, and I found it lacking as to the distance you could communicate between the sets, so I thought this water-proof, rugged model might be a better fit for me, as we live next to the river.

The ability to charge via USB is a nice touch and makes these W-T's much more portable
