Hearing protection

Walkers Rope electronic hearing protection. Better protection than most electronic ear muffs @ 29 dBs. Works great but has a tendency to amplify wind noise passing over the mic on the ear piece if it's windy. USB charging port, one charge lasts 15 hours.

I've been using the Walker razor slims for $39 but have the same problem with the wind.

I use Walker Quad muffs and wind noise is a problem, also. I think wind will be a problem with any electronic muffs/plugs due to sound amplification?????

Most muffs have a chunk of foam covering the mic to help stop wind noise. The electronic ear plugs do not, the mic is exposed. I have thought about gluing some kind of foam over the mics but I keep forgetting...
 
It would be great if we could use suppressors here in IL. I would have one dedicated rifle for one. However, since we cant I use form fitted plugs or just the heavy foam types. Cant stand muffs although when at the range with lots of noise I wear both foam plugs and muffs.
 
Use good quality fake fur, a good-sized piece.
Hot glue it over the mic making sure it is NOT glued to the mic, and don't make it tight.
Works like a dead cat ( look that one up )stops most of the wind.

Yep, the quads have foam covers over mics, turning volume down helps but still get some roar w/a strong wind.
