Harbor Freight is having a sale on collapsible ear muffs on Mar 2,3, & 4th. They normally run $20 each, but will be on sale for $4.

Last time they were on sale, I bought 10 pair (2 visits) for my gun safety classes.

No - there is no link. I searched earlier. In the store they said they were a new item. (The guy had to go in back to get more because I wanted five and there were only 3 on the sales floor).

They have 25 db noise reduction and meet CE EP-107, EN352-1:1993 ANSI

They aren't exactly slimline, but that might keep your students from accidentally walking away with them.

They are made by Western Safety and are Harbor Freight item no. 94334

Oh - and the flyer says "No Rainchecks".

I have a couple pair of them and they've served their purpose very well so far. I'm going to invest in a nice peltor for myself soon as they don't seem to quite cut it for extended range sessions and IDPA but will keep them for my students.
