We need a much better means of using cell phones while riding.
I have seen the police helmets with the big ball sponge shield mic but it is not practical, a full face bug shield defeats the purpose of riding. (and yes I know there are riders out there who are appalled at the notion of riding and talking on the cell but I promise not to call them on my way to my destination)
Ehh?
I guess that depends on your purpose for riding.
I ride to save money and for enjoyment. I wouldn't enjoy it near as much if I didn't have that full face shield to keep the bugs out of my face.
It's not a full face helmet, it's a 3/4 with a full face shield.
And I have tried the bluetooth compatible devices. They work just fine, hardly any wind noise at all if you have a full face or a full shield.
If you want to do it without something blocking the wind, you better get a condensor mike to clip on to your throat.
