Where in the Bay Area to get racers' custom ear plugs?
I recently lost my custom ear protectors that I wore for shooting and racing. They were the kind made my squeezing liquid vinyl into your ear and waiting for it to harden, so they were customized for my ears only. Does anyone know where I can get a new pair made in the Bay Area? Or do you know of a really good ear plug/protector that fits entirely within the ear and doesn't need to be customized but is available at some store? Thanks for any suggestions.

Most gun shops carry Radians Do-It-Yourself Custom Molded Ear Plug kit. Comes in several colors. Check it out, sounds like this is the product you had...

These look great, thanks! I had a different kind, made of liquid that was put in the ear with a syringe to harden, but the Radians ones look just as good. I'll call a gun shop tomorrow.

I went shopping online when the Radians do-it-yourself ear plugs were not in any gun store anywhere nearby. I got these Surefire EP4 units in the link below, for $12.87 on Amazon. I got same-day delivery, the plugs fit beautifully and they work better than the custom plugs I had before. They're rated 24 out of 29 on the ear protection scale. I esp. like that there is a cord connecting the plugs, so if you drop one it won't hit the floor. I got the flesh tone ones, so they're essentially invisible when worn.
