How to do away with earplugs when riding

[EazyDuz]

1. Buy some memory foam type material or similar, i bought these:

2. Cut circles from them. I did two circles for each ear, tucked them into the ear moulds in the helmet. I then cut a much larger peice which tucks between the helmet inside shell and the cushioning. It doesnt fall out:

Greatly reduces wind noise. Hope this helps someone

Yeah, but only by being squished by your ears surely!

Cunningly simple idea though, and cool if it works. I'll stick with my ear plugs though

I`m not convinced that this new method will give enough protection, especially with all the movement the helmet/head goes through during normal riding conditions ie: looking left/right. Surely these new memory foam pads will allow some leakage during normal use. But on the plus side, as opposed to earplugs which only reduce noise entering via the ear canal, memory foam may help reduce the conductive noise that can be transmitted to the inner ear via the area of flesh and bone around the ear canal

Nice idea, I like it.

I was kinda hoping your idea might have been a 'skirt' that clips in to the bottom of the helmet and makes more of a seal around your neck... I've noticed Arai in particular leave a massive gap and it's noisy as holy hell! There's a rubber seal around the bottom of the lid, I'm sure a skirt could be attached to this with some stretchy (neoprene?) material.

I'll buy one off you when it's done.

This is shite.

Have you tested your 'invention' to measure, by a recognised standard, what noise it blocks?

I guess not.
I assume you tried it on your noggin and the sound 'you' heard was reduced.
In 'your' opinion this 'is as good as proper earplugs'.

I say, 'is it fcuk.'
