Peltor sportac or protac??

[Maggot]

Right then...Sordins.....I have just put the gell kit on mine and yes, its very comfortable, but it got me thinking and on reflection, I may look at Peltors next time round, here's why.

On taking the old sponge inners out, they had stuck to the inner workings...how? By really heavy scaly rust on any steel screw they touched (all of them).

Eh? Ive just taken mine apart - what screws are you referring too? the 4 that hold the circuit board? - mine are black and free from any corrosion and I use mine in all weather?

Obviously when you wear these things for days on end, you sweat. Sweat does nasty things to steel, we know that, so why not some sort of barrier there? Its not as though it would make you sweat even more is it?

I am thinking Mylar film or even cling film over the electrics (could use Mylar off a kiddies balloon).

Also, try changing the batts without a spiky thing to get to the second battery.

Slap with the palm of the hand out it comes

Allide to the fact that my first set fell apart and were replaced FOC and they dont fold up very well and were actually not that comfortable prior to paying an extra £30 on the gel kit to make them serviceable, I am not sure they were such a great buy after all.

Good, but not great and over priced taking the above into account. Yes, they are supposed to be waterproof...obviously only from the outside

I would not wear anything else whilst shooting my cannon

Forget Sordins Mike, you need a dugout, viewing slits and a bloody lanyard to shoot those mothers!!

I made John laugh when he shot the CheyTac with the can on....my reaction was something like "You're s*** me!!!"

It was an education mate, like I said, they had a couple of bog chain handles and a hummer under them when I played!! (courtesy of the big red 1 or whoever they were in Iraq).

Sounds to me like you have particularly corrosive sweat, medical advice could be sought.
