PRODUCT UPGRADE

The Best Upgrade YouCan Make to Your 3M Peltor Headset

One simple swap. All-day comfort, a better acoustic seal, and easier hygiene.

Most Peltor headsets ship with foam ear cushions — and most people never question them. But if you spend a full shift, a day at the range, or hours in a high-noise environment, foam is quietly working against you.

The HY-80 Gel Hygiene Kit replaces those foam pads with medical-grade silicone gel cushions that change how the headset feels, seals, and performs.

Four reasons to upgrade

All-Day Comfort

Gel conforms to the shape of your head, distributing clamping force evenly. No hot spots or pressure headaches.

Works with Glasses

Foam gaps around glasses arms. Gel flows around frames to maintain a 100% airtight acoustic seal.

Consistent NRR

No gaps means your noise reduction rating stays optimised — critical against gunfire and heavy machinery.

Easy to Clean

Non-porous skin stays cooler and wipes completely clean with a hygiene wipe. No sweat build-up.
