Thanks for reading along with us in this edition of the blog. We’d also like to note that all Sena headsets are water resistant, they can withstand a pretty heavy downpour while riding motorcycles in rain, we just don’t suggest fully submerging your Sena devices! The cold season is coming and it does not mean you can't take your motorcycle in rain, just wear the right gear and you're good to go. See you all in our next blog.
