Portwest PW47 Endurance Helmet Ear Defenders
PW47 gives compatible Endurance and Height Endurance helmets an attached hearing protection option. The adjustable cups can remain on the hard hat when moved into their stand-off position, so there is no separate headband to manage between tasks.
Key Features
- Clip-on design for approved Endurance and Height Endurance hard hats.
- Adjustable dual-pin mounting supports individual cup positioning.
- Stand-off position keeps the defenders attached between uses.
- Repositionable cups allow the wearer to restore the fitted position.

Ideal Applications
Consider PW47 where a compatible hard hat and hearing protection are both required, including construction, maintenance and industrial duties. Select the complete assembly against the job’s head protection requirements and noise assessment.
Use and Care
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the clips and setting cup height. Keep both cushions sealed around the ears in hazardous noise, and move the cups to stand-off only when protection is no longer required. Check for worn cushions, damaged clips or loose components before use. Clean and store according to the supplied instructions; replace defective parts before returning the equipment to service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PW47 a universal helmet attachment?
No. Portwest lists Endurance and Height Endurance compatibility. Check the exact approved hard hat model; a matching slot alone does not establish a tested combination.
Does a helmet come with these ear defenders?
This listing is for PW47 ear defenders. A compatible helmet must be selected separately if needed.
Is SNR 27dB the same with every helmet?
No. Portwest warns that attenuation varies depending on the hard hat style. Refer to the supplied combination-specific documentation when assessing workplace protection.
How does PW47 differ from a headband ear defender?
PW47 mounts to a compatible helmet. A headband model sits directly over the head and must be assessed separately for compatibility with other PPE.
