Make your own ear plugs with ear buds

I ride with ear plugs to cut down on wind noise - and when I install the plugs it makes it a bit hard to hear the speakers in the helmet headset. I tried just inserting ear buds connected to my headset - but when I put my helmet on they fall out, and any little tug on the wires when I turn my head would pull the ear buds out...I needed a way to hold them in better.
I found out you can buy a rubber putty and make your own ear buds for pretty cheap. You can buy a specific putty at outdoor stores in the shooting supplies - but I don't have a Gander Mountain around and I was didn't want to double the price by paying shipping online.
I did find that Hobby Lobby has "Mold Putty", and it works fine and you get a lot of it for $ 20....enough to make about 6 pairs. I did make a set and they do sound really good and I can put my helmet on and they don't pull out.....still not really fond of that cord dangling around and I wish I could find a headset with a 6" long chord instead of 36" long.
Here is a "how to" for the project that is well done. I didn't cut the holes with the Knife - I used a drill bit held in my fingers and twisted as I pushed...and it worked well.

I did look and Cabella's has the Radians Kits for $ 20 - but you get can it on eBay in any color you want for $ 9.98 with free shipping.
