Yes they look pretty good. Best you read the fine print in the owner's manual about the accessories and which ones effect and don't effect the "Waterproof and Dustproof" features and the "Warranty Conditions". A customer of mine with an IC-41W and genuine Icom accessories recently got caught with the "Waterproof" side. All in all it looks great and is a typical Icom offering.

I'd be looking at speaker mics only. But good to know.

There are 2 types, the standard one (does not seal the sockets and lets in water) (The cheap one ) and the waterproof one (This has a seal around the socket that plugs into the unit) (The expensive one).

Ended up getting one, plus waterproof mic, orange case and spare battery. $600 for the lot from Commex.
Great radio!
Used the cable and software to add in some zones and change some stuff. I'm very happy with it all.
