Foam earplugs really bother my left ear after long a ride. I find custom earplugs to be more comfortable on long trips plus I had a pair of custom earplugs made with earphones, that are great. For short trips, foam earplugs seem to be a bit easier.

My Windjammer obviates any need for them.

You do know, that a Windjammer effectively turns you bike into an Oldsmobile?

Foam works for me, but after a couple hours my ears start hurting. I can't sleep in them which would be nice when the wife and the dog both have allergies.

I think I have lost one or two that fell to the inside, never to be seen again.

I would be interested in hearing how comfortable the custom fitted jobbers work.

These are my favorites, Brad. Very soft and comfortable. It is a shame they quit making them without cords. I just pull them out. I guess I should quit throwing away all those cords and sell them on eBay?
