Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult users, particularly those working in environments requiring hearing protection and helmet integration. The Portwest Grey/Yellow Ear Defenders offer superior noise attenuation, with a key benefit being their easy clip-on design for compatible Portwest helmets. A potential caveat is their specific compatibility with Endurance and Height Endurance helmets, limiting their use with other headgear.

FAQs
What is the SNR rating for these ear defenders?
These ear defenders have an SNR (Single Number Rating) of 26dB, providing medium attenuation performance.
Are these ear defenders suitable for all Portwest helmets?
No, these ear defenders are specifically designed for and compatible with Portwest Endurance and Height Endurance helmets only.
Can I use these ear defenders in wet conditions?
While they can be cleaned with a damp cloth, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or immersion in water is not recommended. Ensure they are dried properly after cleaning or exposure to moisture.
Are these ear defenders fully metal-free?
Yes, these ear defenders are 100% metal-free, making them suitable for use in environments where non-conductive PPE is required.
How do I adjust the fit of the ear defenders?
The ear defenders feature an adjustable dual pin system that provides multiple positioning options for a better and more personalized fit.
What is the best way to clean the ear defenders?
Clean the ear defenders using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Can the ear defenders be easily stored when not in use?
Yes, when not actively worn, the ear defenders can be comfortably repositioned away from the ears, making them convenient for temporary breaks in noisy environments.
Troubleshooting
Ear defenders do not attach securely to the helmet.
Ensure the helmet is a compatible Portwest Endurance or Height Endurance model. Check that the attachment points on both the ear defenders and the helmet are clean and free from debris. Realign the clips and apply firm, even pressure until they lock into place.
Hearing protection seems insufficient.
Verify that the ear defenders are correctly positioned and creating a proper seal around the ears. Ensure the correct colour-coded cup (representing the SNR 26dB level) is being used for the noise environment. Check for any damage to the ear cushions or seals.
Ear defenders are uncomfortable.
Adjust the position using the dual pin system to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure they are not overtightened against the head. If discomfort persists, check for any obstructions or foreign objects in the attachment mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the ear defenders, align the clip mechanism with the corresponding slots on your Portwest Endurance or Height Endurance helmet. Gently push until you hear or feel a click, indicating a secure attachment. The dual pin system allows for adjustment of the ear defender's position against your head.
Compatibility: These ear defenders are specifically designed for and compatible with Portwest Endurance and Portwest Height Endurance helmets. They are not guaranteed to fit or function correctly with other helmet brands or models.
Care: Clean the ear defenders regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and reduce their effectiveness. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use to protect them from dirt and damage. Ensure the attachment points on both the helmet and ear defenders remain free of debris for optimal connection.
