Editorial assessment by the WC Safety Editorial Team, based on published Howard Leight specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Howard Leight Impact Sport Camo takes the electronic muff that made the category mainstream and dresses it for the field: NRR 22, ambient amplification for game movement and range commands, and impulse compression above roughly 82 dB — all in a MultiCam pattern (model R-01526MC). Same proven Impact Sport platform as the classic and pink builds; only the color changed.

Why the Impact Sport Camo suits the hunt
The Impact Sport is the muff that made electronic protection affordable and mainstream — low-profile cups that clear a rifle stock, fast compression, and a price that put situational awareness in every range bag. The camo build carries that identical platform into the field, where matching your hearing protection to the rest of the kit matters and the amplification earns its keep passing game movement and companion calls. Our full Impact Sport Camo review rates it 4.6/5; the classic Impact Sport review covers the platform's history, and the best electronic shooting muffs guide ranks it against the field.
Safety first: the camo pattern is cosmetic — NRR 22 is the shell's passive laboratory rating, real-world attenuation runs lower, and the electronics add awareness, not rated decibels. A dead battery fails safe to passive protection, but a quiet muff tempts removal: carry spares. Indoor ranges and magnum calibers push gunshot peaks toward the top of the 140–165 dB band — run foam plugs underneath there. For workplace use, apply your program's derating per the OSHA 1910.95 hearing conservation guide.
What the listing documents
From the published specs: an electronic hearing protector rated NRR 22 dB (ANSI S3.19); sound amplification for conversation, range commands, and wildlife; automatic compression of impulse noise above ~82 dB against gunshot peaks of ~140–165 dB; a MultiCam camo finish; model R-01526MC. A howard leight impact sport camo search lands here — as camo shooting ear muffs and multicam ear muffs, this is the field-pattern build of the platform that defined the category.
Where it sits in the Impact Sport family and category
The Impact Sport ships in colorways on one platform: this camo build for the field and the pink Impact Sport for a different audience, all sharing the NRR 22 electronics. Its lifelong rival is the Walker's Razor Slim, and the tier includes the Caldwell E-Max Low Profile and Browning Buckmark. Head-to-head guides: Impact Sport vs Razor Slim, Impact Sport vs Impact Pro, and WorkTunes Connect vs Impact Sport.
Electronic shell, passive math
Compression handles impulses; sustained noise rides the passive NRR 22, so run the standard numbers — the NRR explained guide covers derating and the calculation walkthrough applies it to your exposure. Electronic vs passive draws the boundary, the passive muffs guide covers raw attenuation, and the when-do-you-need-hearing-protection pillar maps the thresholds.
Ownership: batteries, cushions, and party orders
Two consumables: batteries (spares in the pack) and cushions (replace when they stiffen; the seal carries the rating, camo or not). Indoor and magnum sessions pair with foam plugs from the hearing protection collection; ear plugs vs ear muffs explains the doubling logic, and the best hearing protection overview compares every format.
