I knew we wouldn't get the same range with bluetooth-only units, but the Sena 20S had the highest advertised range of the highly rated bluetooth units (1.2 miles) which seemed adequate. The units are supposed to automatically reconnect after the range is re-established but our units do not, you must manually reconnect by hitting the jog dial button. Other minuses: as another reviewer pointed out, the permanently attached part of the unit extends below the rim of the helmet, so when you set the helmet down, one side is resting on the communicator. Many reviewers report these units falling apart in use. As flimsy as these units seem, both have held up pretty well, but as I said in my original review, we're very careful with them, and leave them on the helmet permanently since the lock is a weak point."
"For years I have been using ear buds to listen to my navigation and music. One thing I noticed is that you can change how the voice prompts from the Navigation overlay the music. I did adjust that so that when I get a voice prompt the music is almost completely quiet. I just finished up my first long ride with them, about 8 hours, and I am sold. The battery life was great, It lasted all 8 hours of my ride at my volume levels with music and navigation, plus 4 hours on standby time while eating. So many times I used to have problems with the ear buds working loose in my ear and causing sore spots, and trying to get the volume adjusted from being stuck in traffic to cruising down the highway."

The SMH10D-10 is a Bluetooth v3.0 + EDR Class 1 Stereo Headset with long-range Bluetooth Intercom designed specifically for motorcycles. With the SMH10D-10, you can call hands-free on your Bluetooth mobile phone, listen to stereo music or voice instructions of GPS navigations by Bluetooth wirelessly, and have intercom conversations in full duplex with a passenger or other motorcycle riders. Bluetooth v3.0 Wireless SMH10D-10 can wirelessly connect to other Bluetooth devices supporting HSP/HFP (Headset Profile/Hands Free Profile) and A2DP (Advance Audio Distribution Profile). Almost all Bluetooth MP3 players, smartphone, and audio dongles support A2DP to send stereo audio to Bluetooth headsets like the Sena SMH10D-10. This means that phone volume (HSP/HFP), music volume (A2DP), and intercom volumes will be saved separately and return to its own saved volume level whenever associated profile is reconnected.

I have listened to some of the songs many times and yet I pick out new things with the clarity of the speakers. With the 2 buttons and reading the manual a couple of times you can do virtually anything from changing songs to connecting to another intercom to volume and phone control."
"They work fine with the phone and as intercoms, but the VOX system would not work for us."
"my wife wears a 3/4 helmet so positioning of the mic for optimum voice and reduced wind interference is the tricky part."
"I have received a phone call and the ipod / music cuts off and when the call ends, the ipod music picks up where it left off. Music will cut off during "intercom" driver to rider or other driver use like with phone."
"I must say I was impressed with how they worked, after 2 inches of rain it was really muddy, so much that when we was done riding you could even see the them on the side of the helmets.."
"Ok , I just received this unit Friday so this is an initial review of it: I installed them on a pair of Sedici Systema modular helmets. When I say frequently I mean usually every 5-10 minutes thru the duration of a 2-4 hour ride.This pairing is between driver and passenger units so the distance is within 14 inches."

"I wholeheartedly recommend this mount to anyone wishing to capture their back road rides on video."
"Positives: Very solid once mounted and has the build quality I expect from Ram Mounts."
"This is the best mount out there."
"The only con is that it requires tools to mount so you can't move it to other positions easily, but it probably wouldn't be nearly as secure otherwise."
"This kit almost seemed to have the wrong bolts and U bolts. The bolts were not held tight by the plastic they fit in."
"I spent a few hours trying different ways to get this to mount to my mountain bike with a go pro camera."
"Its a standard mount for a roll bar, but this was packaged with bags of miscellaneous parts and no instructions that gave me a clue as to what to do."

"I really like the straps on the side that allow you to adjust the size of the pack based on what you have in it, so if it's lightly loaded with stuff for work, I can make the pack quite compact, or if I were going on a long trip and needed to load it down I could expand them. The material is indeed waterproof, but the zippers and outer nylon adjusting straps will absorb water so that could be a problem if you get caught for a long time in a downpour."

"Adult size fits too big or me (I'm either Medium or Large helmets depending on the brand) as I have some glasses and do not want the cap to go over my ears (besides the tip of my ears)."
"This cap is snug, lightweight, breathable, quite warm, and thin enough to fit under a helmet (though I did have to loosen my helmet by one notch, but I keep my helmet quite tight). Could have a little extra comfort around the ears, but that is only a problem if you wear it for several hours."
"I wear a Jaxon Fedora Medium sized hat, and still need to put something in the band to make it fit right."
"If you have an average sized adult head, this product will fit snugly and will not come off during physical activity. If you happen to have a very large head, I doubt that this particular product will be suitable."
"It is not thick enough to make a difference in how the helmet fits and keeps your head warm."
"i have a snug full-face motorcycle helmet and the skull cap fits nicely without adding any noticeable tightness to the helmet."
"Good hat, fits under the bike helmet perfectly."

"You do have to wear sunglasses underneath during the day, and the shield will NOT move unless there's a movable piece already on your helmet for it to attach to."
"All in all I'm stoked that I bought it and probably will have to buy one every 6 months because I ride every day and will probably aquire a lot more scratches."
"This shield has been a real game changer."
"On my Bell Custom 500 helmet, I have to remove the shield to put the helmet on."
"I don't know if that is how is suppose to be but when I turn my head it catches air pretty good. got up to 70mphs and turned my head, didn't fly off but felt a pretty good pull from the air."
"There's a huge gap on the sides where the helmet comes down over my ears and the face shield."
"It's awesome, I like it, but the description said chrome, and it's definitely smoke tint, which is not the product I ordered."

Extra protection for the face is a +. One thing I would like to see would be a little more scratch resistance but other than that this combo really makes for one sexy bit of gear."
"perfect shade for plasma cutting or torch cutting, I only wish that they sold this shield with the face shield bracket so you wouldn't have to buy both this and the clear."
"This is compatible with the Sperian Protection S8500 Bionic Face Shield."
"The uncoated visor is much cheaper than the coated version, and they last about as long."
"This is a great mask lens replacement, because it's made by the company that makes the entire unit."
"Take note that you are only getting one replacement face shield (not 4)."
"I really like this thing."
"Two, when I installed the new lens and started using, it fogged on me right away."
