Helmet Comms / speaker ?

[GrouserPad]

Hi I’m interested in using my FRS radio stuffed in a backpack with a helmet speaker(not an inside the ear type). I would need a PTT button on a cord as I don’t want to mess with VOX. Is there any units that are better than others? Typical kenwood type connector. Thanks. Was hoping maybe a few of you have personal experience using such setups as I don’t want the phone/Bluetooth ones that seem popular. I’d like to stick with frs radios.

I don’t have any experience with Rugged Radios Headsets other than I did a radio check for a guy testing one out on his motorcycle and on my end it sounded pretty good. They have wired and bluetooth. There might be cheaper options out there. Good luck.

I don’t remember what company we used but ours attach to the inside of the helmet on both ears and have a mic that attaches to the front face guard.  Has a wireless ptt button on the bars takes a little watch battery lasts about a year total Cost was like $30.  They have so far lasted 5 years of every day hard use.     Friends have rugged.  They last them about 6 months of every other weekend riding.
