I live in Florida, so a helmet is not required, so my question is: Can this product be used with no helmet?

Not likely. The ear pieces are designed to be attached to the inside of a helmet with Velcro. Even if you could somehow attache it to something that could hold it in place you would have problems hearing anything above 30 - 35 MPH.

The mic and speakers are made to mount on a helmet. I don't think you would want to Velcro the speakers and mic to your head. If you could find a mic/ headset like phone operators use it might work. The problem is the plug is different. I tried to find one and could not. But the unit works great. I hate helmets but maybe you might want to use one for the convenience and the safety.

I wear a helmet by choice. I don't have to wear a helmet in Texas either. I would say that not using an helmet with this would be very troublesome. Read the reviews about sound quality and wind noise.

Helmet not required? If you value your head/life wear a helmet! A helmet saved my life in 1998, don't really like to wear one but I & any passengers wear one on my bike. Get smart, wear a helmet & the Shark works very well.

They are designed to use with a helmet, no way to keep them on your head otherwise. NH is a helmet free state also but I prefer the safety of helmet and these units work very well in this configuration.

No, i think is not possible to use it without the helmet, because the microphone and the speakers must be held in the helmet and the transmitter must be fitted on one side of the helmet

I don't ski or do anything which requires protective head gear. Sorry I can't help. i will say they do take up space between the scalp and the ear and again from the ear on the surface. I'd go with earbuds to be sure when using a helmet.

No, the headgear it comes with is a complete unit to be used without a helmet. A separate helmet mount can be purchased from Armasight, these will have shorter mounting arms since the thickness of the helmet will push the NVG farther from your eyes.

The helmet would need to have a reasonable sized fairly flat area. The curve of a helmet might prevent it from getting a really strong suction. The suction cup is about 3" across. Hope this helps

Erin, I thought that you could ..but after I received mine there is no magnet attachment on the non shield helmets....I would just buy the one with the shield or just buy some nice sunglasses like I did....B

You can if you use the helmet mount. You might have to be creative with the velcro alignment to get it snug.

Yes for sure. My granddauhter and grand niece tried out on livingroom carpet without them....but anywhere else they have to wear the protection, especially helmet.

This is only going to protect his face. There is no helmet component to it, although you may be able to find one that is compatible. Good luck.

Unless you have helmet laws where you are... yes, I suppose one could wear this alone. I wouldn't recommend it as it offers no protection. This is similar material to UnderArmour (Compression) shirts. *It is NOT a form of head protection* It is made to keep you cooler in warm weather and warmer in cooler weather. It's also great at keeping the majority of sweat out of one's helmet.

I would not think so. It is too floppy to just fit on a head. It needs the structure of the helmet underneath for the cover to be filled out.

I think you can buy some sort of attachment and affix it to your helmet ... or wear clear glasses which keeps you safe from debris and bugs.

The helmet is padded inside so it is wearable. But it is pretty heavy so it will tire your neck out in no time. It's also not very stable so wearing it and walking around might not be the best idea.

Not sure I don't have a helmet to try but I believe it's made to work with a helmet .

I don't see why they couldn't be worn with a helmet since they are low profile. Just be careful when you remove your helmet. The very first time I wore my Earbags, the wind was blowing and one of them was blown right off my ear and was lost. I won't be purchasing them again because I thought it was a pretty high price for one wearing!

Just go buy some strong velcro. I got some at Home Depot. The helmet clips don't work well and are prone to break. I've been using the velcro for 2 years now and it's still working great.

I would never guarantee 100% protection. It just helps cushion the impact. We just got them for our whole HS soccer team. The girls complained at first but got use to them fast. My kid has had multiple concussion in the past without product. Hasn't since using but is also more aware to make better choices when to use her head. It can be a reminder to not use head if you don't have to as well.

Hi Gabriel, that already depends how you set it up on your helmet. It's a matter of placing it on the right position. -Vincent
