Default Ear plugs

Anyone reccomend any? I bought some foam single use ones but they seem to work themselves loose after 5 minutes.

Cheers

I have them donated from work!!
Although I don't use them on my black SV as its just about tollerable, I've just been out on the yellow one and remembered why I use them.!

If you squeeze them while rolling tham up in your fingers you should get them in your ears nice n snug, they shouldn;t come out if you put them in properly

It's not the exhaust that gives me earache as I still have the standard bazuka on. It's the wind noise. After being out all day today I have some serious ringing.

Not sure an mp3 player is the answer, that will just damage my ears another way.

Saw these on ebay? I know it's not a huge investment but thought I'd ask anyway

or maybe

yeah wind noise is horrid full stop, but I need em for the exhaust
My Shark helmet is pretty noisy. I wouldn't use an mp3 either, too much distraction
