While the two ear "pillows" - both detachable and adjustable - are intended to block sound, I was glad the package came with real ear plugs. The fleece-covered foam cushions did offer a slight additional buffer to noise, however, and they were definitely pillow-like - perfect for those awkward head leans on planes, trains and automobiles.

Among the offerings are night-vision equipment, high-powered water guns, ear-splitting klaxons, and a lubricant foam that make it difficult for pirates to get their footing. For commercial shipping vessels and yachts operating in high-risk areas of Southeast Asia, the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa, such products can mean the difference between smooth sailing and high-seas distress...
