Ear defenders correctly fitted?

[theNakedApiarist]

 

This pic shows a petzl vertex vent with MSA HPE ear defenders. The 'arms' of the ear defenders slide into the slots in the helmet correctly, but don't lie flat against it. There are two cylindrical protrusions, you can just about see in the pic that rest against the side of the helmet and hold the top part of the arms away from the helmet shell.

 

They look as though they expect there to be matching holes on the helmet shell to accept them.

 

Is it correct as it is, or should I drill holes in the helmet? !? That doesn't sound right! Maybe the little cylindrical 'pegs' should be nipped off?

 

What do people think?

 

I hope the pic appears on the post....

Did you fit the visor or was it done in a shop? Have a look at the housing, the arms of the visor should go through the ear muff housing. There will be a little gap for them. Some times they go through the front hole but not the rear one and look like they rub the helmet (fnar fnar). Don't cut the little pegs off, its my understanding that they act as little spacers. Definitely don't drill the helmet!!

I'm not going to cut or drill anything, don't worry! It just looks like the pegs want holes to slide into, but I am convinced that it's all ok, thanks to pics online and words here. The visor fits fine. It's good, actually. I might wear it to the shops in a minute!

Make sure you have the visor up then. You don't want to look silly

[theNakedApiarist]

Lol. I will.
