Scala Rider G4 in the Weather?

[- Tim -]

Many of you have been writing about how much you like the Scala Rider G4 comm system in several posts of late...

My concern is exposing these electronics to moisture and/or rain as they mount on the outside of the helmet... I feel they are a rather large investment to risk. What does your practical experience say about durability and how they hold up to occasional exposure? I know the specs say weather resistant, but I'm looking for real-world feedback here.

I got caught in heavy rain once about 2 weeks ago 4 hrs from home. No problem. The only thing i don't like is the fm radio does not seem to work very far from home. [just bought a i pod so i don't have to try to find new stations doing 70 mph] ryding with one hand

My wife and I have the Q2 system and they have gotten wet several times and they still work fine

I just ran with the G4 in a pretty bad storm...Working fine!

I had no problems with the G4 except figuring our how to make everything work that I want to work. I took it on a 6000 mile jaunt with IrishtotheMax this last spring and it worked and weathered fine.

Never had any issues with rain. The only issue is radio reception isn't that great. I loose stations and I agree, trying to find another one while riding one handed might not be a good thing. My wife and I love being able to talk with each other on long rides.

Thanks for sharing your experience with how the G4 puts up with the rain and weather, I really appreciate it. It's sounding like a system worth the investment.

Anyone else? Keep it coming!!
