  I am interested in comfy ear defenders. I have used some horrible things that give you very sore ears after an hour or so.

  Would not be without these, very comfy and sounds as well.

  SNR 31dB - EN 352-1 and EN 352-3.

  Peltor Optime II

   Very comfy, last for ages as long as you don't store them in direct sunlight on the dashboard of a van!

  I hope you get on with them as well as I do! Don't forget to regularly check the arms as they can get longer over time - just push them back in to adjust!

  They have just arrived and they are certainly comfortable

    and much better at noise reduction than my existing pair.

    It took a while to figure out how to alter the length of the arms,

  I thought my head was just too big for them at first.

  Just ordered a pair, hope they are good.

    I really like the new search facility on the home page, must start using it more often.

  Interesting recommendations here - I shall look into getting a set of the Peltor's - a retailer who sells them in my area wanted twice the Amazon price - I shall certainly need some for working with my diesel ride on, that Mitsubishi two cylinder engine is NOISY...

  Perhaps we as gardeners/landscapers don't protect our hearing as much as we OUGHT sometimes!
