Then I just have to disconnect/unsnap the actual unit and put it in the helmet of choice. I've been thinking of buying a couple of additional full face helmet "harness's" with mic's for the snowmobile helmets. Do any of the SENA users know if they work well/long in the colder weather??[/QUOTE]

Depends what they are powered by.
Nimh do not fair as well as nicad batteries in the cold according to this, but then again they are comparing cordless drills, which put a heavy demand on the batteries.

Rick, I don't know what you will pay for 2 extra head set for the Sena, but here is something to consider. I recently bought these for the snowmobile helmets and am using them with good success. Clear, good distance, and cold does not seem to be a serious issue for the nimh batteries.

Hi Norm,
Not sure when a guy stops saying Happy New year,

but all the best in 2012.

Thanks for the info. The SENA is more money for sure. I think the last time I looked on eBay, a pair of the units complete were about $300. So twice as much. How long have you had yours? I do like the simplicity of using the Sena. And now they have updated the firmware to allow for conference talking between 3. Not the 6 the shark offers but a big improvement to what Sena offered before. I you have good reports on these I might just try them. But first, I need to get back, up country and hope they've got more snow than when I was up there at Christmas. I see a trailer or a skid for the pick up truck in my future.

My apologies for highjacking the thread, sort'a.

Be safe out there.
