i want to find ear protectors..

where to find coz the ones at the hardware shop like very flimsy..

i'm looking for a couple of pairs for the F1

I would rather WRC comes rather than F1.....F1 strikes me as boring.

Of course its point of view.

16/f/lonely SG

Those ear plugs for live firing available from the army shops are good enough. Which seats did you get?

Good enough not to hear the commands given to the firers too.

get etymotic ER-25 earplugs from jaben network at the Adelphi, 4th floor. highly effective.

if you want the kind of big headphone type ear protectors used for shooting, go to Sheares

no they're crap compared to the good ones like the etymotics. the etymotics will set you back by $25 a pair though

Bay Grandstand.. Row 5

Kuali Baba SG

Bay Grandstand.. Row 5

I'll be walking around for the practice sessions...maybe I'll plonk myself in front of a screen for the race itself.

sheares.. okay, thanks!

av98m SG

sheares.. okay, thanks!

you mean you really want those big ear protectors?! I was talking about the kind worn by aircrew and shooters leh.

earplugs are enough already

Kuali Baba SG

They're sufficient for the job though. No need to spend so much on something that will probably be used only once a year.

hey, tell that to the guy who just indicated he's going to buy those big ass headphone type ones

the Bear SG

well, hey.. i'm okay but i'm protecting the ears of someone going with me

kopiosatu SG

i pass him those foam ones are enough already

and that is used when aircrafts take off!

kopiosatu SG

i see lightning! its gonna be a cool night!!!

ok, i go sleep now

the Bear SG

okay okay.. i have the 3M earplugs already

it's raining really hard here in the west

Kuali Baba SG

hey, tell that to the guy who just indicated he's going to buy those big ass headphone type ones

Both of them don't need that much protection...that part of the track is quite slow, with just a short burst of acceleration. The people sitting along the straights are the ones who will suffer.

Kuali Baba SG

okay okay.. i have the 3M earplugs already

I can hear the thunder from here (extreme west).

av98m SG

It'll be funny to see you wearing one of these:

when i went to the melbourne one in 1998, i was with two cop friends.. one was drunk and disappeared into a hospitality tent and was drinking the entire race, the other was wearing one of these

Meia Gisborn SG

I use a pair of generic earplugs when I'm shooting at the range. They're the ones shaped like miniature cylindrical barbs and made of synthetic rubber. They're washable, reusable, and are rated to 29 dB of protection, which is sufficient to comfortably muffle the muzzleblast from a S&W 500 Magnum revolver a few feet away.

I got them at a local hardware store years ago for just a couple of bucks. You don't have to pay a lot for effective hearing protection.
