Ear protectors are a pair of protective ear-muffs that can be worn on the head.

Usage

Ear protectors provide a minor amount of insulation and wind resistance for the wearer's head. They have a high chance of being knocked off of the wearer's head when they're attacked.

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
