Not only did the PACKTALK EDGE ORV systems provide a new level of safety for his family unit, but being able to clearly and naturally hear his wife’s and daughters’ reactions and comments in real time enhanced the experience for each of them.

AJ added that he was impressed the way each intercom “daisy-chained” between each other to extend range when gaps in the group ride happened from time to time. Engine noise didn’t intrude, even when wearing tight balaclavas and each voice was clear and easy to understand without having to speak louder than necessary.

Installation literally took just seconds thanks to the secure magnetic mounts and can be done on full-face and MX style helmets.

The ability to answer phone calls and/or listen to music on the quality JBL headphones worked flawlessly and was easy to operate.

The way in which a rider interacts with the display and its ease of operation also plays a critical role. Ski-Doo is aware of this and has worked hard on improving its communication pairing technology between a rider’s helmet and its 10.25-inch Touchscreen Display.

Built in partnership with Sena, the Vibe Communication System is an advanced integrated helmet communication system specifically designed for demanding winter conditions.

With up to 8 hours of battery life in -20C weather, you can chat, listen and ride worry-free all day long. The Vibe open mesh system allows the choice of 9 channels so you can keep the conversation going between your riding crew without interruption on a range up to 1.6 km.

One click is all it takes to connect the Vibe Communication System to your phone or vehicle display and enable a line of communication between your entire riding group.

While the Ski-Doo Advex Helmet is purposely designed to seamlessly accept the Vibe Communication System to the side of the helmet, the product specialists at Ski-Doo have improved the versatility of the Vibe Communication System which now expands to fit all helmets offer by Ski-Doo for 2025.

Rapid charging capability ensures the Vibe Communication System is at full capacity and ready to ride whenever you are. When using the Advex Radiant Helmet, riders can pair the Ski-Doo exclusive E-LinQ accessory system and the Vibe Communication System will be constantly powered so you can chat, listen, and ride all day.

This may hold true for most urban and populated regions but there are still vast areas beyond the reach of cellular or traditional GSM communication networks.

This presents unique challenges for safety-conscious outdoor enthusiasts like snowmobilers, who want to stay in touch when their adventures take them to areas where even the smallest of emergencies can quickly turn into a major disaster if there is no way to communicate with family members, friends or emergency services.

SPOT X is a new stand-alone, portable and lightweight device featuring 2-way messaging capabilities, an onboard backlit keyboard, GPS location tracking, social media linking and direct communication with emergency services.

Shortly after it was introduced in May, 2018, the first SPOT X rescue was initiated in Alberta, Canada.

Darrel Comeau was on a four day trip to climb a remote mountain in Willmore Wilderness Park, located in Alberta, Canada. This is a 4,600 square kilometer (almost 2900 square miles) wilderness area adjacent to the world-famous Jasper National Park.

Around 4am, Darrel’s dog started whining. Darrel woke up and realized he wasn’t breathing. His airway was completely blocked. He reached for SPOT X clipped to his bag and pressed S.O.S.

Darrel told us: “The SPOT X is worth every penny. After pressing the S.O.S. button, it brought me comfort knowing someone was working to help me and allowed me to stay calm and focus on my breathing. That SPOT X is never leaving my bag or vehicle!’ said Darrel.
