I have used the "Chatterbox X1 Slim" and they have worked fairly well or should I say better than others I have tried. They all have their shortcomings but for the most part the Chatterbox works pretty well.

The battery will very easily last all day in the coldest of weather.

The range is about 1 - 1.5 miles on wooded trails and a lot more on an open lake or field.

While they do have voice activation, I found using their handlebar mounted push to talk button was way better!

Bluetooth works excellent.

Where you mount the microphone in your helmet makes all the difference in the world. Depending on the type of helmet you have you need to make sure your not breathing right on it as it will freeze up!

Didn't get a chance to try last year but Ski Doo's newer Oxygen helmet which requires no face or head covering (which I can confirm after riding with it last year) should work well with all communicator microphones.
