After the best part of 20 years of existence the Playboater Titanium Earwig will no longer be produced. Sad times.

For £20 the Playboater Titanium Earwig has to be a great investment. It’s constructed from super thin 0.5mm neoprene with an inner coating of titanium designed to reflect heat back into your head. The Earwig is thin enough to wear under most lids. I think I’ve had mine for around at least 15 years and it still looks brand new.

I also had a Kogg Nogg which was exactly the same as the Earwig. Kogg no longer exist.

The Earwig not only helps to keep your head warm but it also gives some protection to your ears from cold water and wind. This can in turn help prevent surfer’s ear. If you don’t know what surfer’s ear I’d recommend a quick Internet search (before you have a meal).
