gecko and comms

[vince]

Whats your thoughts on this (see pic) and this (2 for sale) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gecko-Helmet-M...QQcmdZViewItem
to be used with this from maplins:
The comms kit is normaly for a motorbike setup, link is here http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ories&doy=24m6

would it be a cheaper alternative, what sort of problems might you get? anybody got anything similar?

I doubt the connections will stand up to salt water too well but if you keep them well lubed I can't see it being a problem.

You might want to check if the mike and earpiece are properly waterproof. It rarely gets so wet in a bike helmet that water would be a problem but on a rib it's a different matter

S`pose its a case of buy and try then, if it dosn`t work i`ll peddle it on ebay! cheers nos

I've got one of those motorbike intercoms sets - used to use it with an open face helmet but with a visor in all weathers with no problems - just tuck the control box inside your jacket. I removed the sponge microphone covers though as they just got full of water and held it whilst without them the water just ran away. - above 55mph on the bike though the wind noise just got too much to hear the other person.
