Uclear makes a series of Bluetooth communication systems that you add to your bike, motorcycle, or snow sports helmets. The HBC120 Snow incorporates a “lightweight noise-cancelling Bluetooth system with advanced military technology”, so you can easily make a call, intercom another skier, or listen to music. The boomless mic uses a patented noise-reduction system that isolates your voice and virtually eliminates background noise, even at 100mph. The speakers are powerful enough to produce clear sound, so you’ll have no problem hearing your call or listening to music. The HBC120 attaches to most skiing and snowboarding helmets, and the Bluetooth system pairs easily with your phone or other Bluetooth-equipped device or with other Uclear helmet systems. The Uclear HBC120 Snow helmet communicator system is $229.95 from Uclear.
If you’re not into skiing, check out Uclear for motorcycle ($199.95) and bike ($229.95) helmet systems, too.

At the end of last years ski season we purchased two units for skiing. Our primary attraction to the product were the military usage you describe. Keeping in communication among a group of soldiers is similar to us keeping in touch skiing. Wow, we were sold.
During the summer we purchased new helmets to insert the Uclear. Last night all excited oboist the Uclear and new helmets we paired them to try them out.
While reading the manual,vs the box, I noted the military communication is only good for a few meters. What!!!
When we ski I can talk to my wife in a normal voice at ten meters.
We feel that we were sold your product using a very poor description of its capabilities. At a minimum I expected line of sight intercom.
That said at ten meters the communication is clear. But skiing I am rarely that close.
We live on a ski hill and ski most days during the season. We will not recommend the product to our friends as it is over priced and under performs in one of its major advertised features – Intercom
