I have small ear holes and use the washable rubber christmas tree shaped ones. Some safety site sell sampler packs, find and buy a pack.

I bought mine from here. Great service and inexpensive protection.

I wear rubber ones from LG. They're bluetooth and play music from my phone.

I'm also wondering what type of helmet you wear and whether it fits properly (ie. not too loose).



I use these too. They work good for me. I wonder if the people that are having trouble with them are putting them in wrong?

I wear Howard Leight Max and a bandana over my ears as well.
Wish I had started wearing them 20 years earlier..

FYI...in some states it is illegal to wear noise suppression in both ears. In Florida I know it is. LEO pulled a buddy over for enjoying the day too quickly & also nailed him for noise suppression device he wore(ear plugs from 3M). LEO only wrote for 5 over instead of the 15 he was doing.
