Ear Plugs - Discuss.

[jgarrard3ATL]

After wearing earplugs for the first time this week, I would never ride without them. I felt much less fatigued and enjoyed the ride all the more with the ear plugs. I was able to hear car horns and an ambulance siren without a problem. I have trouble with the foam type plugs, but not with these; definitely recommend them.

Congrats, Deadalus. Ditto for me.

Actually, I have found that anything that improves my comfort helps me focus on the ride and makes it more enjoyable.

I wear Hearos. I like them a lot. I would like to buy a large quantity but not able to find a source for a good price. Does anyone know where one can buy a large quantity of the Hearos ear plugs?

Thanks in advance.

earplugstore.com for sure. http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/ Best selection anywhere and excellent service. They ship out of Oklahoma so you'll get them in a day.

My favorite has been the Moldex style called "Spark Plugs" and for a slightly softer feel try Howard lights.

I have ordered from them before. They do not have a large quantity on the plugs I like. I will try calling them and see what they tell me. Thanks.

I ordered these and they work well. They are certainly the most comfortable earplugs I've ever worn, and I've tried a lot in different plant environments. When they get hot, though, they're almost too squishy and sometimes leave a little blue residue in my ears. Worth the tradeoff for the comfort and effectiveness, IMO. I bought a 20 pack of these and still haven't "worn out" the first pair. Wash under hot water.

Do you like them better then the Hearos? I have tiny ear canals so they need to be soft enough like the Hearos for me to get the plugs in to where they will seal in my ear.

There are a lot of different types- some catalogs and distributors even sell variety packs so you can find the best fit for you. I buy the EAR Classics (yellow foam cylinders) - you can get a case of 200 packs for under thirty bucks.

For me, the lower noise level makes for a lot more relaxing trip - I'm more relaxed and alert, especially on a longish day - your mileage may vary...

I also use the Ear Classics, and find them comfortable after a couple of minutes.

I second the relaxing part about riding with ear plugs, at the end of the day, I'm not as tired..........Rod.
