Silicone Earplugs @ Fred Meyer, cheap.

I have been using these types of ear protection ever since I decided against putting things in my ear canals. Normally they sell for about $2.25ish for 4 plugs (2pair) in a pkg, or a bigger package of 12 for about $6.50. They come in a clear plastic box. Discovered a 4 plug pkg for 1.39 @ Fred Meyers. Kroger brand. I generally use 1 pr. a day, starting with a fresh set every morning.

Orange foam ones for me.

Generally use cut-down foamies but at this price might just check out the silicone version...

Thanks for the heads-up Jim!

No pictures, it is a somewhat sticky, malleable, silicone that form fits and seals the outside of the orifice. My choice of options. Most common brand seems to be MACKS Pillow Soft Silicone Putty Earplugs. 22dB and comfortable.

Awesome Man - as soon as I was given my first pair at Shot Show and took them out shooting, I knew they would be fantastic for in helmet operation as well.

Figured I'd share with you guys how great they really are....
