Shop carefully for the throat mics, they have about 99.9% work like crap rate. 

Also keep in mind that any conductive mic like throat mics, ear bone mics, jawbone mics etc will not work pretty much at all on fat people.

Throat mics suck... we stopped using them in the military because they are virtually useless; if you want comfort and reliability go with something similar to the Surefire EP 200 systems, there are a number of clones available that work well.

My radio of choice is a Garmin Rhino. Take your pic, they're al good. Great range with added GPS features. They're one pin, so headsets are quite easy to find for them.
