The Pyramex VGPME26 Venture Gear Sentinel hearing protection muffs deliver reliable 26dB noise reduction rating for shooting sports and industrial applications. These over-the-head style ear muffs feature a distinctive powder blue and black polymer construction that combines durability with comfort for extended wear sessions.
What Makes This Different
The Sentinel muffs utilize advanced acoustic foam padding that creates an effective seal around the ear while maintaining comfort during long range sessions. The polymer headband construction resists cracking and maintains consistent clamping pressure better than traditional plastic alternatives. The 26dB NRR rating places these muffs in the mid-range protection category, suitable for most centerfire rifle and pistol calibers when combined with foam earplugs for maximum protection.

Range performance shows these muffs effectively attenuate the sharp crack of rifle fire and the concussive blast of magnum pistol cartridges.
