The best ear plugs I've worn yet: Mack's Ear Seals. Super comfortable, reuseable - should last at least 6 months, much easier than the foam plugs to insert, and they hold a "seal" when your helmet moves. They're made right here in MI and I think I saw them at CVS. www.macksearplugs.com

Thanks for the tip. I will have to see if I can find them at CVS.

They have a pretty good DB rating too, 27db if I recall.

They seal out wind noise as well as if not better than any other earplug I've tried.

Bruce...which ones on this page do you have?
(BTW, if it's the $100 ear plugs I'm going to have a smart ass comment about frugality!!<G>)

Knuckles,
Hope ya feel better soon. Drink lots of water and take extra Vit C! I'm taking 10 grams/day (3 grams after each meal) and my gigantic leg bruise (from a recent low-side) is healing very quickly! Give us a report on how ya like the plugs when you eventually test 'em.

UncleGomer,
These:http://store.yahoo.com/earplugstore/macksearseals1.html
I still can't get over the fact that they seal so well and I don't have to squeeze and roll like I did with the foam plugs which tended to get "funky" within a few days.

I think I will try the ones we get at work. We use them for working around jet engines and they are free, plus I can get almost an unlimited supply.

They are the ear seals and were under $4.00, don't remember exactly. I think they were on sale too, for a bit less. I picked up a few other things and it was less than I thought it should have been.
I've had a cold, a sore throat, pink eye, another sore throat and more of a cold since June 28th. I've hardly been on either of my two wheelers at all this month. I also had a sinus infection and I didn't trust my balance and didn't want to take any chances on two wheels. Thanks for asking.
