Ear Plugs
Anyone looking for some really good ear plugs should check out the sporting goods dept. at Wal-Mart. For $11.47 and 15 minutes of your time, you can have custom ear plugs that fit and work well. I think they are the same as the customs you buy. Very easy to do and very comfortable to wear. I think they are going to last a long time and they are washable. \\;Wife and I just used ours for a 4 day trip to the Black Hills and never got sore once. Check em out.

RE: Ear Plugs
Hey Terry, the material comes in two seperate small cannisters. You take 1/2 from each cannister and mix it together and put it in your ear, shape it and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes. It starts to form after you mix the two parts. It's some kind of latex I think. The instructions are easy to understand.There is plenty to make one for each ear and makes a perfect fit. We both like em a lot.

I'll have to give it a try as the foam plugs are a pain to deal with at times. \\; Thx for the info.

I will give them a try also. I use foam ones now. They do the job, but my ear canals are narrow so it is hard to get them inserted. I am use to wearing earplugs since I have always worked in noisy aircraft factories.

I gotta say I don't think I've ever met anyone who wears earplugs when they ride...can't think of why I'd need them?

To keep from going deaf, ya nut. \\; Especially after riding on the interstate, if I don't wear ear plugs my ears will ring and be fuzzy/muffled feeling for two days. \\; I'd like to still be able to hear past 55. \\;

Some guys I shoot with don't see the need for them either. \\; \\;

RE: Ear Plugs
For you guys with small ear canals. The first ones we did for my wife\\\\\\; she used all the material and there was too much sticking out of her ear and she didn't like the feel of it. The second set, she took some of the excess off before they got hard. Read the instructions\\\\\\; very easy to do. You have about 10 minutes before they start to get firm. Plenty of time to remove some material if you need to. Both of us have the material flush now and they feel good. They are rated for 26 to 28db.
