PW43 - Comfort 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 PS41 Super HV ear defenders combine a yellow finish with a folding design for carrying between work areas. The adjustable dual-pin system lets the wearer position the cups, while the compact folded format is useful when storing the defenders after leaving a noisy area. These are headband ear defenders, so buyers should distinguish them from helmet-mounted clip-on models. Portwest documents EN 352-1 with SNR 30dB for PS41. Select the model using the workplace noise assessment and check that both cushions seal properly around the ears. Other PPE, hair and damaged cushions can affect fit. The yellow colour is a visibility feature of the product; it does not replace any required high-visibility clothing or wearer training.

Portwest PW48 Classic Plus Ear Defenders offer an adjustable over-the-head design with a padded headband and lightweight cups. Red and yellow options are available on this listing, allowing you to choose a colour for your workplace equipment. Portwest describes the construction as non-magnetic, nickel and ferrous free; it is a headband model and does not clip onto a safety helmet. Select PW48 using the workplace noise assessment and check its fit alongside any eyewear or other PPE. The manufacturer’s updated datasheet lists SNR 27dB, so use the documentation supplied with your pair when confirming suitability. Position both cushions fully around the ears, inspect the headband and cups before use, and follow Portwest’s instructions for cleaning, storage and replacing worn components.
