1st Class Rider Training-Cardiff organised an impression taking day at Hein Gericke Cardiff, for Lee from Minerva Hearing Protection to take impressions and supply Ear Plugs to 1st Class Rider ‘Blog’ members.
They arrived today. Well packaged and in a stylish and useful pouch as opposed to the plastic pot that normally is supplied by other companies. Also returned were the original impression moulds so that if one of the plugs is lost an authentic replacement can be obtained.
On first fitting, they were easily inserted into the ear. With these plugs they have a concave outer side (other plugs I’ve used have a bulbous outer side). The hollowed outer side allows a helmet to be worn without any pressure being placed on the ear or the plugs when in use.
Also, just in case you can’t work it out, the Right Plug comes with a Red dot. The Left plugs has a Blue dot. Right for Red and BLue for Left. Quite a useful feature but if any of you can get the right one into the left ear…..or vice versa….. I’ll take you to the Doctor myself!
So on first impression, I’m impressed !
Now to go and put them to use riding the bike. If you haven’t had yours yet, they won’t be long.
If you missed the event and would like a set made you can contact Lee at Minerva Laboratories, Wentloog Business Park, Cardiff.
