Ear defenders

[Dalquhurn]

Just to check can anyone recommend an in ear defender rather than having to wear cans on the helmet? I've looked but can't really figure out what is suitable. 

[Steve Bullman]

I always used to wear disposable ear plugs rather than ear muffs. 35-37 snr, which I believe is probably higher rated than any ear defenders on the market that i'm aware of.

 

Switching to plugs was one of the best things I ever did, specially in the summer. Ear defenders would make me sweat bucket loads and i'd end up with a sweat rash on my neck.

i used the DIY silicon mouldable kit ones for a good while until i lost one, they work well and stay in and don't irritate my ears like the plastic ones, not sure the rating but they were good enough for me and i usually wear the 32db chipper ear defenders,  plus you can attach a cord that comes with the kit.

 

Brand i used was LugGuards.

As above I use the 3M Peltor Optime 3, recently misplaced them (left at my arse) and used a cheaper pair, noticed the difference straight away. Since found my Optime 3 and all is good in my world once more.

He wanted plugs though, but like you I'd stick to a good brand like 3M. They are cheap enough you might as well buy good ones and be sure they'll work.

I use Wurth one's. I can't fault them if I'm honest
