I've ridden thousands of miles with my Cardo Packtalk Edge, through hot Mexican summers, tropical downpours, and frosty winters. The thing that stands out the most for me is that it simply works. It has never let me down, other than maybe giving me 12 hours of use rather than the advertised 13 hours once on a long trip.
But I'd never exposed the internal hardware to much water because I'd never used it on an adventure ride. Apparently, that must have been an issue because not Cardo has come up with a solution.
Cardo Systems has unveiled a waterproof microphone for off-road adventures. The IP67 hybrid boom microphone is intended for on- and off-road adventure use. The frost-resistant mic cover is intended for use with the Packtalk Edge and Packtalk Edge ORV, and can withstand dusty trails as well as wet, rainy conditions.
