Portwest PS41 Super HV Foldable Ear Defenders
The PS41 is worth comparing when compact storage is an important part of a hearing protection routine. Folding the cups helps reduce the space needed between uses, while adjustment allows a fit check on the wearer. Storage convenience does not remove the need to inspect the cushions and headband.

Ideal Applications
Compare PS41 for workers moving between noisy and quiet areas where headband defenders suit the assessed exposure. Trial the fit with any eyewear or other PPE used on the same task. Consider a documented compatible helmet-mounted alternative when a headband arrangement does not suit the required equipment.
Use and Care
Adjust and wear according to the supplied instructions. Inspect the cushions, cups and headband before use, replacing damaged parts or the product as directed. Clean and store in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidance. Keep defenders correctly fitted throughout the required noise exposure, and fold only after leaving that area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the yellow colour make this high-visibility clothing?
No. It is a product visibility feature. Use the specified clothing and other controls for the workplace.
Are these clip-on helmet defenders?
PS41 is a headband model. Helmet-mounted defenders require the correct documented helmet and attachment combination.
Does SNR 30dB guarantee a 30dB reduction for everyone?
No. SNR is a laboratory single-number rating. Selection, fitting and consistent use influence the protection achieved.
