How earSHIELD 2 works
Redirect the airflow. Leave the ear open.
earSHIELD 2 attaches to the front helmet strap, just in front of the ear. Its adjustable profile redirects the oncoming airflow away from the ear. The product does not seal the ear canal or cover the ear. Traffic, warning signals and conversations remain audible.
The compact design combines a natural sheep wool outer surface with a durable polyamide support. Hook-and-loop fastening holds earSHIELD 2 on the helmet strap, and the profile can be adjusted to suit the ear and helmet. earSHIELD is developed and made in Germany, directly by its developer in Berlin.
Benefits on everyday rides
What makes earSHIELD 2 different
-
Less airflow and wind noise
The profile redirects airflow away from the ear and can reduce distracting wind noise when cycling. It also reduces cold airflow around the ear without fully covering it.
-
Surrounding sounds remain audible
The ear is not sealed. Traffic, warning signals, conversations and other surrounding sounds remain audible, while the airflow can become less dominant.
-
Attached to the helmet and always with you
Hook-and-loop fastening attaches directly to the helmet strap. earSHIELD 2 can stay there, ready for your next ride, without another item to put on or stow away.
-
An uncovered ear on warm days
The wind deflector sits in front of the ear rather than over it. The ear remains uncovered and is not additionally warmed by an ear covering.
-
Use with many glasses
The compact shape sits on the helmet strap in front of the ear and can be adjusted individually. This allows earSHIELD 2 to be used with many bicycle helmets and glasses.
-
Use with in-ears and hearing aids
Because earSHIELD 2 sits in front of the ear, it can be combined with many in-ear headphones and hearing aids. Compatibility depends on the design and fit of the devices.
