I've been looking at getting a pair of Uniden 1watt UHF radio's
They have VOX so with a little headset there is no need to press any buttons (handsfree)
With lithium batteries they should last for hours and weigh bugger all

I wonder if temperature has anything to do with battery life/charge? (i could be wrong...)
http://www.bushwalking.org.au/FAQ/FAQ_Batteries.htm
There is a little bit of a mention there... (That bushwalking FAQ is a great resource BTW!)

A little trick to solve the cable/headset being pulled out...
Take a bit of slack in the wire between your headset and helmet (say 4-6 inches...)
Clip/tape the wire to your helmet or one of the straps then plug it into the radio as normal
I use a similar trick to prevent the cable being pulled out of my guitar while i'm playing
The bit of slack allows for a fair bit of movement instead of just pulling it out of your ear...
