I pretty much have to wear earplugs when motorcycle riding to keep from going deaf from wind noise.
I hate wearing them. I don't like putting them in my ears. Is there an alternate product that will muffle wind noise that doesn't fit in your ear, and is small enough to fit under a helmet. Even better would be something that attaches to the helmet, so its not a separate item to take on/off. |

You ride with a full face helmet? What brand? Higher end helmets are good at reducing wind noise. Open face. Don't like the enclosed feeling of a full face. Hoping to find something like a set of low profile muffs that will fit inside the helmet ear pockets. |

Custom earplug kit. You can find any number of manufacturers, and since this isn't an industrial environment or firearm-related, the noise reduction doesn't matter.
They fit flush when fitted correctly. Also is it the best idea to operate a motor vehicle with blocked ears? Is a helmet which doesn't allow wind noise totally out of the realm of possibility?

I wear a full face, my bike has no wind protection. On the freeway at 80 mph, I cannot even hear my own horn honk. Wind noise drowns out everything. |

Mac's Pillow Soft silicone earplugs are the ones you want, they really cut the low frequency wind noise. I have been using them for about 8 years. They don't go in your ear, they cover the opening. Get em at Walmart Sounds interesting. I will check them out. Sporting goods dept ? |

Still plugs but there aren't any more comfortable than these for prolonged use. |
