The Otis FGESH31 Ear Shield delivers professional-grade hearing protection with 31dB noise reduction rating, specifically engineered for shooters who need reliable ear protection without bulk. This behind-the-neck design maintains compatibility with shooting glasses, hats, and tactical headgear while providing consistent seal and comfort during extended range sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional over-the-head earmuffs that interfere with cheek weld and headgear, the FGESH31 uses a behind-the-neck band design that keeps the head area clear. The low-profile cups sit flush against the ears without creating pressure points against rifle stocks or helmet systems. This configuration allows proper shooting stance while maintaining the full 31dB protection rating required for high-volume firearms.
