COMMS QUESTION

I've been using a wirefree comms system. During the summer it took it's firse rainstorm and one of the units quit working. I called the company and they said I needed to replace the mic. Yes, at my cost!!!! I argued that they advertise the system can be used in the rain but I didn't win. I have a dozen helmets and hate to get another but what is your opinion of the Can-Am helmet and comm system? My husband and I each have an RT and prefer talking to each other when riding (he gets lost a lot, lol). Is the Can-Am system more reliable then the others? Do you find being pluged in a problem? The system I have is voice activated but I see the Can-Am is push to talk, is that a problem? Any opinions would be appreciated before I sink a ton of money into it, yet again.

What brand do you currently have?

The Bluetooth system that BRP sells is really a sena.
Friends used a bluetooth system until it died in a fierce rain storm,they switched to the wired BRP comm system and have no problems with it. I am leaning toward the wired BRP comm system to be installed this spring

I have a pair of these and they work great bike to bike. Many miles in the rain with them without issue.

We have the Scala system. The first hard rain storm. one of the mics quit. Scala refused to replace it because of rain. It's a motorcycle helmet system, hello.

Amazing, simply amazing that they treat a customer that way. Scala will never get a second look from me in the future and I will be sure to pass the word.

Thanks,

I have been using Scala for the last five years or so. Never had a problem with the units not working in the rain. I have never had to deal with them over a problem, so cannot speak to that situation. Our mikes are inside the helmet--full face and modular.

I have the BRP wired system and am generally satisfied with it.
It is VOX, although if you have the CB radio turned off, the PTT button will work the intercom as well.
With the CB on, the PTT operates the CB, and the VOX activates only the intercom.
You cannot get the intercom without purchasing the full radio and CB system, so it's a bit costly.

I've said this before, so forgive me for sounding like a broken record.
When it comes to bluetooth communication.............I have enough of those damn vampire chargers connected to computers, pads, phones, Ipods and the like.
I don't need to worry about charging up my motorcycle helmet also. Especially if I'm on a long trip and staying in cheap motels.
