SWATCOM Slim Passive Ear Defenders

SWATCOM Slim Passive Ear Defenders: Ultra-Low Profile Tactical Hearing Protection

Maximum Defence. Minimal Bulk.

Engineered for elite units where space is critical, the SWATCOM Slim Passive Ear Defenders deliver 28dB SNR-rated protection in a groundbreaking compact design. Tested to NATO standards and featuring the thinnest cup profile on the tactical market (under 89mm), these defenders are engineered for helicopter crews, armoured vehicle operators, and confined space responders who demand uncompromised hearing safety without helmet interference.

Mission-Driven Innovation

Space-Optimised Defence

28dB Attenuation (EN352-1 Certified): Military-grade noise reduction for gunshots (up to 157dB), engines, and breaching charges.
SlimFrame™ Design: 41% thinner cups than competitors ensure clearance in cockpits, turrets, and tunnels.

Critical Equipment Compatibility

Seamless Gear Integration: Maintains full seal with ACH/ECH helmets, gas masks (M50/M53), and night vision mounts.
Dual-Axis Rotation: Cups conform unevenly to jawlines during crouched movement or vehicle entry.

Endurance-Built Tactical Durability

Crushproof-Armor™ Construction: Survives 150kg compression despite slim form factor.
IP55 Environmental Shield: Seals against hydraulic fluid, sand ingress, and monsoons.

Hyper-Ergonomic Comfort

WeightShift™ Headband: Distributes 360g equilibrium pressure to prevent “hotspots” during 18-hour patrols.
Hydrophobic Cooling Mesh: Wicks sweat 70% faster in desert/arctic extremes (-25°C to +65°C).

THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOOTING EAR PROTECTION

Designed specifically for the purpose of protecting your hearing from high-impulse gunshot noise, shooting ear defenders are a must-have item.

Every trigger pull unleashes a blast that can spike above 160 dB—louder than a jet taking off at close range. At that intensity, permanent inner-ear damage starts in a single shot.

Unlike a bruised shoulder, noise-induced hearing loss never heals; the tiny hair cells that translate vibration into sound simply don’t grow back. Tinnitus—the maddening “ringing” many shooters develop—often follows the same irreversible path.

Don’t risk permanent hearing damage; wear adequate and certified ear protection for shooting when in the vicinity of gunfire.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT EAR DEFENDERS FOR SHOOTING

When you pick shooting ear defenders, start with the numbers: look for at least 25 dB SNR (≈ 22 dB NRR) for outdoor rifles and shotguns, and 30 dB SNR or higher—or “double-up” with plugs—on indoor ranges or around magnum calibres.

Decide whether you need electronic muffs (which amplify voices and clamp gun-shot noise in milliseconds) or simpler passive ones; then make sure the cups clear your stock, seal around slim-temple glasses, and stay comfortable all session—gel cushions and a sub-350 g weight help.

Match the design to your environment: low-profile, camo-coloured muffs with fast cut-off for hunting; wind-screened mics for clay grounds; high-attenuation or combined plug-and-muff setups for echo-prone indoor bays.
