Ear plugs
 

Oh mighty Org,

I'm looking for recommendations for good quality but not too pricey ear plugs?

Any suggestions out there?

Re: Ear plugs
 

Disposable or reusable?

I've a set of those 20 quid pass through plugs you find at bike shops, the ones that let through the audible range. They're ok.

I most often use a set from a large bag of earplugs though, I've lost the packaging to it. Earplugs are designed to withhold a certain level of volume ( dB ), I think your best bet is trying Amazon or eBay for a large bag. Comfort is going to vary based on ear shape and size, so it's try a few and find what fits best.

I've actually read there's a site that sells a collection of earplugs, like 20 different kinds, and they offer one bag which has one of each kind of ear plug they sell. It might be worth looking for that.

I use R&G diy molded ones. About £20 I think.

I use Howard Leight - the green ones you can get 200 pairs in a box for about £25 off ebay. I got my box at the start of last year and its still going strong. I normally use a set of plugs for a ride or two then bin them. They're an essential piece of kit for me.

I use the normal yellow ones you get given for nowt in work. Always used them, can't ride without em now.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I also use the cheap yellow ones, but now I'm looking for a good quality reusable type that fit good, work well and last a long time. A quick look at custom made plugs put me off because they're comparatively expensive.

R&G DIY ones.

I've had mine for over a year now.

They give you enough goo to do a replacement too.

Second vote for Howard Leight Max Lites - been using them for years and whilst they're a disposable you can get a good few wears out of them (unless you have manky ears)

Another for Howard Leight - the rhubarb & custard ones for me:
also posted this on another forum:
" I think Howard Leight used to do ' taster ' sets ( NO don't eat them ) for a small fee.
Not now sure it was them, but petersplugs.co.uk do them: £2.99 for 10 pairs. £5.99 for 18
Haven't tried them from him, but worth a punt for finding something that suits? "
