Design award

Judged by a panel of 37 experts, the award was presented to 3M at the red dot gala ceremony at the Aalto Theater, Essen, Germany, on Monday 1 July. 

Created in collaboration with customers, the Peltor X Ear Defenders Range consists of five different models offering increasing levels of protection. Each model is available as a headband or helmet-mounted version giving ten products in total, all of which are colour-coded to provide easy recognition between levels.
