Peltor Sport Tri-Flange Corded Reusable Earplugs, 3 Pair, Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) 26 dB, Comfortable Fit, Ideal For Range, Shooting & Hunting, Washable and Corded, Neon Yellow (97317-10C)

What It Is

These are Peltor’s Tri-Flange corded earplugs, designed for hearing protection during lawn mowing, leaf blowing, and other power equipment operation. They provide a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26 dB, suitable for prolonged use with gas mowers, trimmers, or chainsaws.

Fitment & Compatibility

• No machine-specific fitment – these are universal earplugs for any operator using hearing protection.
• Check your ear canal size – the tri-flange design fits most average adult ears, but if you have small or large ear canals, test fit before buying bulk.
• Corded design – the cord hangs around your neck, so ensure it doesn’t snag on mower handles or controls. Not compatible with full-face helmets or hard hats without side slots.
• Reusable – washable with mild soap and water; replace when flanges harden or lose shape (typically after 20-30 uses).

Key Things to Know

• NRR 26 dB is adequate for most mowers – gas mowers produce ~85-95 dB; these reduce to a safe 59-69 dB range. For very loud equipment (e.g., commercial zero-turn mowers over 100 dB), consider NRR 30+ plugs.
• Washable but not indestructible – hand wash only; machine washing or harsh chemicals will degrade the silicone flanges.
• No installation difficulty – roll, insert, hold until expanded. The cord can twist around your neck if not stored properly; use a carabiner or clip when not in use.
• Common gotcha – the neon yellow color is visible but can stain from grass or dirt; periodic cleaning keeps them looking new.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a low-cost, reusable hearing protection for occasional mowing or yard work and prefer a corded design to prevent losing them. Avoid if you have very small ear canals, need maximum noise reduction for commercial-grade equipment, or require a hard hat-compatible mount.
