Think Peltors are just for wimps?

Post by sidestick stirrer »

From the previous " headset" thread wherein one poster suggested that only pussies wear Peltors.....http://www.halcyon.com/carln/TTF.wmv

Perhaps that poster meant to say only pussies and guys with excessive neck fat wear Peltors.

A peltor is a small bird, indigenous only to New Guinea, which is fond of eating mold and hanging upside-down. Because of this trait, warriors in New Guinea will hang peltors upside down from the rear of their grass belts, and as they swing back and forth, the peltors, with their long, sharp narrow beaks, will peck at the mold that grows around the warrior's testicles in the jungle heat and humidity.

Yes, that was very funny.
Hedley, if you're going to keep falling off your ride doing stoppies, you really must get a better lid; the damage is starting to show.....
It must be either that, or perhaps too much negative G doing those rolling 360's.

What's so wimpy about a headset? This one looks a little cheap, but if it works, who cares?

I don't know how good their audio headsets are, but Peltor makes the best damned hearing protectors I've ever worn!

I don't think any headset looks good... but If for you, it's all about looking cool, then maybe you need a helmet with a mirror visor and ACE printed on the front? :wink:

This month's Fashion Trend magazine says that Peltors and tweed bell bottoms will make a comeback for the Fall fashion season.

I absolutely loved my Peltor, it didn't give me a headache like the DC did and it was lighter. The band can be bent to shape for any head. Now i have a ANR Sennheiser and its great.

Post by AV8R »

I wore Peltors never had an issue with them; reasonalbe price so I didn't mind them getting tossed around while instructing.

Light and durable..........

I've never had a problem with my Peltor. I find them a lot easier to wear than DCs. As they are significantly lighter, I don't get nearly as bad headaches from wearing them for long periods of time.

As they are significantly lighter
They're significantly lighter because they are significantly crappier. Its the same reason they are significantly cheaper and significantly uglier.
