Project 5 Hearing Protection

FAQ

What is the Project 5 Ear Protection designed for?

The Project 5 Ear Protection is ear protection for water sports designed to help reduce water, wind, and irritation in the ear canal when surfing, kiting, wing foiling, and SUPing.

For which water sports can I use the ear protection?

The Ear Protection is suitable for all common water sports such as windsurfing, kiting, wing foiling, surfing, and stand-up paddling, where wind, cold, and spray hit the ears.

How is the ear protection attached to the helmet?

The Ear Pads are fixed directly to the helmet with small screws, so that they sit securely and do not slip even during harder moves.

Who benefits from the ear protection in water sports?

It is particularly useful for surfers and kiters who regularly go out in cold water, strong winds, or in the waves and have sensitive ears.

Can I continue to use the ear protection after use in salt water?

Yes, after the session, it is recommended to rinse the pads with clear fresh water so that salt and sand residues do not damage the material.

Does the Ear Protection fit every water sports helmet?

The pads are designed as an accessory for Project 5 helmets. Whether they fit other helmet models depends on the respective helmet and the available mounting points.

Does the ear protection also reduce drafts and wind noise?

Yes, in addition to protection from spray, the pads also dampen the direct wind on the ear canal and can thus provide more comfort during longer sessions.
