The 3M PELTOR GELHYG gel ear cushions replace the worn, cracked, or flattened pads on most 3M PELTOR headsets. Shooters who run electronic muffs through long range sessions know the foam rings break down, lose their seal, and turn comfortable headsets into something you want off your head by the third magazine. These gel-filled cushions restore that seal and add a cooler, softer contact surface against the skin. They were designed specifically for COMTAC III ACH headsets but fit a wide range of PELTOR models, making them a straightforward upgrade for anyone logging real time behind hearing protection.
Each cushion uses a super-thin polyurethane skin over a silicon gel-filled bladder, backed by Confor foam. The double-hump top face design spreads pressure across the contact area instead of clamping a hard ring against your temples and jaw. They click into place on compatible headsets, so swapping out tired foam takes seconds with no adhesive mess. The gel construction runs cooler in heat than standard foam, which matters on a summer range day. One trade-off worth knowing per manufacturer specifications: switching to these cushions may reduce the noise reduction rating by up to 1 dB. Confirmed compatible models include WorkTunes Connect (90543), Sport Shotgunner II (97040), Tactical 300 (TAC300), Tactical 500 (TAC500), and 3M Pro-Grade (90565). These cushions are made in the U.S.
If your PELTOR muffs have lost their seal or the foam has gone hard and crumbly, a fresh set of gel cushions brings them back to life for a fraction of replacing the whole headset. They suit range time, competition, hunting, and work environments where you keep ear pro on for hours at a stretch. We carry these alongside other hearing protection and shooting support gear in our broader range of electronics and general accessories. Keep a spare set on hand so a worn cushion never cuts a range day short.

Per manufacturer specifications, switching to these gel cushions may reduce the noise reduction rating by up to 1 dB compared to the original foam cushions. Most shooters find the comfort gain worth the small change, especially during extended sessions.
They click into place on compatible PELTOR headsets with no adhesive required. Pull off the old, worn cushions and press the new gel cushions in until they seat. The swap takes only a few seconds and requires no tools.
Gel cushions hold their seal longer, distribute pressure across the contact area through the double-hump design, and run cooler than standard foam in hot conditions. If your existing foam has hardened or cracked, fresh gel cushions restore comfort and the acoustic seal.
