PS41 - Super HV Ear Defenders

Portwest PS47 Endurance HV ear defenders attach to documented compatible safety helmets, combining helmet and hearing protection in one arrangement. The adjustable dual-pin cups can be placed in a stand-off position when protection is no longer required. Astral Hygiene lists orange and yellow options, giving buyers a choice within this helmet-mounted model. Check the exact helmet and defender combination before ordering. Portwest identifies Endurance, Height Endurance and Peak View helmet families, but attenuation depends on the helmet style used. Select using the supplied combination-specific data and the workplace noise assessment. A clip-on fitting does not establish compatibility with every hard hat, and the cups must seal correctly around the ears during required exposure.

Portwest PW41 Super ear defenders have adjustable dual-pin cup positioning and fold down for compact carriage. Astral Hygiene lists yellow and red options, allowing teams to choose a colour while retaining the same model identity. For buyers moving from a basic fixed design, the folding arrangement is a useful feature to compare when planning storage between uses. Portwest currently lists EN 352-1 SNR 30dB for PW41. Confirm the specification supplied with the product and select against the workplace noise assessment. A fit trial should check the cushion seal with any eyewear or other PPE worn for the activity. Maintain the cushions and headband, and wear protection consistently during required exposure.

Portwest PS43 HV Extreme ear defenders combine a PU-padded headband with adjustable dual-pin cups. The reflective print is a useful product detail for buyers comparing headband designs, while the cup adjustment lets each wearer check positioning and the seal around the ears. Astral Hygiene lists a grey, one-size option for this model. Portwest currently documents EN 352-1 with SNR 36dB for PS43. Choose attenuation against the workplace noise assessment rather than assuming the highest available rating is always appropriate. Trial the defenders alongside the eyewear and other PPE used on the task. Comfort during a fit trial, the condition of the cushions and consistent wear all matter when managing hearing protection.

Portwest PW42 Clip-On Ear Defenders attach to compatible Expertbase safety helmets, allowing hearing protection and head protection to be worn together without a separate headband. The adjustable dual-pin fitting helps position the ear cups around the ears, while a stand-off position keeps them attached to the helmet between tasks. Choose from the red or yellow options shown on this page. Before ordering, check the exact helmet model against the manufacturer’s approved combinations and select hearing protection for the assessed workplace noise. Helmet attachments are not universal. Follow the supplied fitting instructions, check the cushion seal before each use and inspect the fittings regularly so damaged parts are identified before work begins.
