Ear Plugs

Post by katmarch » Tue Apr 23, 2013 5:22 pm

Does everyone just use the foam things or has anyone tried these?

or

http://www.proguarduk.co.uk/index.php?o ... view&id=42" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

as I've got a lot of miles coming up & seem to have problems with the standard faom things not fitting my ears very well thought I'd see waht else was available.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks

i reckon that 2nd link has to be worth a shot... there used to be folk pumping these things out at all/any bike shows in years gone by, it was amusing to see half a dozen people sitting around with what looked like a bit of plasticine stick out of the ear canal... i understand they're well worth the ££. let us know how you get along, would be keen if they're all the say they are ;)

Indeed, I know someone who had those moulded plugs done and they're the nuts. However they were expensive.
When (not often I admit) I remember to use earplugs I just use the foam jobbies (mainly cos I was given a box full) and find them perfectly adequate for motorway use.
Of course Cat may snore louder than a articulated lorry..... ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fit speakers in your helmet and play radio, does away with the need for earplugs and entertains the long journeys away! Works for me.

The other lad on my circuit had some of the moulded ones done loved 'em.

I don't get on listening to music, did that when I worked on bikes. The problem I have with the foam things is they don't fit my little ears, just can't get them to stay in, on the way back on Sunday one came out down the M6, I couldn't decide either so ordered both, will give them ago, suppose I should do a right up in the next Pride about them.

Thanks for the feedback
