Bose A20 Compatible Helmets

As software engineer, my most valuable asset is my brain. So I've been looking into the different helmet options. Unfortunately, I don't really see much that fits directly with the Bose A20 Headsets. There's the one option from Sky Cowboys Supply... however, this looks like glorified bicycle helmet priced at $,1800 (it includes the A20 headset). I already have an A20, so am not looking to purchase an additional, but just a helmet that'll fit it. Is anyone aware of any helmets that'll fit as an insert or have any mods that they've done to fit them?

Thanks

Re: Bose A20 Compatible Helmets

There's a kits to install bose and zulu into just about any helmet. We use them a lot on OAS helmets, such as Gentex, Evolution and Gallet hemets. Many others out there as well

They do require taking the headset apart and installing it into the helmet.

My wife has bose in her Gallet and I have zulu in my evolution (gentex clone) helmet.

Thanks, I'll look into the Gallet and Evolution helmets here soon. Do you know which models you have? Was the process of taking apart the headset rather straight forward?

Thank you

Re: Bose A20 Compatible Helmets

They do sell that sky cowboy helmet without the Bose, for those that like you already own a pair of Bose and want to use them. You will need to dissemble them - as you would with any helmet, but that BYOB (bring your own bose) helmet is $450.
