Exactly

I like the under water plugs... rubber and slide right in... usually come in a nice case. Work great!

I got a custom pair after going on a 300 mile ride and coming home to ringing ears (damage done). I know it was from the wind noise and not so much the bike. You adjust so you can hear the cagers and anything else you might need. I just wish I could convince my husband to wear them.

I wear them all the time, especially on long trips. Sometimes I forget when I'm going to work but not a huge deal, though I would rather have them in than not.

I had a set a while back. the guy that made mine said he went to shooting events. they make them right on the spot if you don't want them to have earphones put in them.

I'd love to get a pair of custom made ones since my ears are oddly small (from a surgery).

I wear them on longer rides, or to/from work. If I'm just going around town I tend not to especially if I'm running errands. I always feel like a bit of an idiot when I can't hear people talking to me when I'm stopped at lights...but that's actually saved me a time or two.

I have gotten a DIY kit from Cabella's before.

These are who made mine, through a local hearing clinic. Basically I went to this clinic in town (Beltone Hearing) and he made the molds, then sent them off to this place and they made the actual ear plugs.

I have them with a hole so some sound comes through. It makes it easier to hear things yet still filtering out the other noises. And they are lime green!

Mine were $75, not $100 though I called a couple other places and they wanted $90-$125, a few years ago.

Never wear them...then again I run stock exhaust. I don't think they do anything to "save" hearing unless the noise your experiencing is loud all the time. Hint, quit putting on loud exhausts ...punks. lol
