Description
FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) is the most important championship within rally sports. It’s a fantastic sight to see all the sports cars drifting and racing on extremely challenging tracks. There’s just one small remark: as a spectator, you are exposed to the loud noises of the car engines. To prevent hearing damage in spectators, WRC and Alpine Hearing Protection have joined forces. The result: unique filter earplugs in a special WRC style. Wearing the earplugs, you can cheer on the heroes of the circuit well protected ánd in style!
NUMBER 1 IN HEARING PROTECTION
Alpine has over 20 years of experience in designing hearing protection. This has resulted in a broad range of products. The newest earplug model has been thoroughly tested and approved. The earplugs have a comfortable fit thanks to the soft thermoplastic material.
ALPINEACOUSTICFILTERS™: ATTENUATION PER SITUATION
The special acoustic filters in the Alpine WRC Earplugs offer an extra strong attenuation level that attenuates the harmful noises coming from the rally cars. Noise is reduced to a safe level that you can carefree stay in for hours. Thanks to the AlpineAcousticFilters™, you can still hear the racing cars drifting by and also have a chat with fellow spectators.
ALPINETHERMOSHAPE™: PERFECT FIT
Alpine WRC Earplugs have a very comfortable fit. They are made from AlpineThermoShape™ material, specially developed by Alpine. This material adapts to the shape of the hearing canal, thus providing a perfect fit and keeping the earplugs thoroughly in place. The material is hypoallergenic and contains no silicone. Therefore, it will not cause itching or allergic reactions.
INCLUDING WRC STORAGE POUCH
Each Alpine WRC Earplugs package contains a free storage pouch with the WRC logo. That way, you can easily keep the earplug in your pocket or in a bag and lower the risk of losing them.
LIFESPAN AND CLEANING THE EARPLUGS
The lifespan of the earplugs depends on the use. Do you regularly clean the earplugs? Then you can also use them for a longer period of time. With the Alpine Clean cleaning spray you can quickly and easily clean and disinfect your earplugs. The Alpine Clean spray is available in a 25 ml container. The earplugs can also be cleaned with lukewarm water and soap.
DUTCH DESIGN AND UNIQUE WRC EDITION
Alpine developed a unique filter earplug especially for WRC. The earplugs have an extended stem, which makes it easier to put them in and take them out, which is quite practical for example when wearing hand gloves alongside the track. The Alpine WRC Earplugs are black, to prevent premature discolouration due to for example the dust that blows up with the passing cars.
The design of the Alpine hearing protectors is an exclusive Dutch Design. All earplugs and filter systems are produced in The Netherlands.
RED DOT AWARD
Alpine Hearing Protection has won a Red Dot Award for the design of the newest model earplugs. The jury of this prestigious design price applauded the “high quality and the innovative ability” of the earplugs.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL EARPLUGS FOR EVERY SITUATION
Alpine WRC Earplugs do not only come in handy during rally competitions. The earplugs can be used in multiple situations. For example, the earplugs also protect you from suffering hearing damage when doing DIY work or in an environment with loud music.
