Title: Michael Bane's Custom Ear Protection
Post by: redraider on January 25, 2010, 05:37:45 PM
Just finished watching "Zoot Suit" episode and I again noticed Michael Bane's custom molded ear protection that I believe hear wears most of the time.  Anyone know what product he uses?  I would like to get a pair for USPSA and IDPA.  Thanks for any help.

Welcome redraider!

I'm sure Michael will respond at some point, but I would suggest you stop in at a sectional USPSA match.  Every large match I go to has venders there, and there is usually one guy doing the molded hearing protection.  Last year at the Pro Am they were doing anything you wanted on the spot ... except the electronics that needed to be sent in.

At some point???? I just barely SURVIVED SHOT!!! The jury's still out on my feet...

The eye protection are plain old boring EAR, Inc. (http://www.earinc.com/) Insta-Molds...I got them molded at a cowboy match years ago...cost $40 or so...

Say it with humor! 

Hey. Michael? Did it burn like hell when they made a mold of your eyes?  ;D

Price went up, paid $50.00 @ Grand American, last year. Many, many, many color options available. The guy that did mine was very hospitable and helpful.
