Frequently Asked Questions
A mesh intercom links a group of units directly by radio, so the group forms itself and re-joins anyone who drops out of range without re-pairing. Cardo call theirs Dynamic Mesh Communication, and the Packtalk Edge and NEO run it for up to 31 riders. It keeps working where the phone has no signal.
Yes. The Cardo Packtalk Outdoor is made for helmets and beanies and is rated to work down to -20 °C, with IP67 waterproofing for snow. It gives 10 hours of talk time, and 20 minutes on the charger gives 2 hours, which covers the morning you forgot to charge it.
Yes, with a second-helmet kit. The Packtalk Outdoor 2nd Helmet JBL Kit puts 40 mm JBL speakers and a wired microphone in your second helmet or beanie, then the unit clips across. One Packtalk Outdoor can cover a ski helmet and a bike helmet without re-running cables each time.
Yes, but differently. Modern Cardo mesh units join the same mesh. Other brands such as Sena and Midland connect over universal Bluetooth as a one-to-one link, like a phone call, rather than joining the group. Older Cardo Bluetooth units connect by standard pairing.
How to choose a helmet intercom
• Mesh or Bluetooth pairing:How to choose a helmet intercom
• Mesh or Bluetooth pairing: Cardo's Dynamic Mesh Communication forms the group by itself and re-joins a rider who drops out of range, with no re-pairing. Units from other brands connect over universal Bluetooth as a one-to-one link instead of joining the mesh.
• Group size: the Packtalk Edge and NEO run mesh for up to 31 riders.
• Cold and wet: the Packtalk Outdoor is rated to work down to -20 °C and is IP67 waterproof, with 10 hours of talk time and 10 days of standby.
• Mounting: the Packtalk Edge snaps onto a magnetic Air Mount that fits any helmet; the Packtalk NEO uses its own clickable cradle, so Edge cradle accessories do not fit it.
• Single or duo: a duo pack is two units, one for each helmet, and the cheapest way to start talking to a riding partner.

Intercoms on the snow and the trail
On a ski day in Japan or at Thredbo, the Packtalk Outdoor keeps a group together across runs and lift lines, and the mesh re-joins anyone who falls behind. On a group MTB ride it saves shouting between switchbacks. For the rest of your ski kit see snow gear, or browse bike helmets.
