Dispatch was super quick and I got two tubs of silicone putty and a 1 page set of easy to follow instructions. The quantity supplied makes two pairs. I made one for starters and trial purposes. It was at this point I wished they supplied a color dot or something to avoid mixing up the lids.
The instructions advised to leave them in place 15 minutes to set. I felt they were not ready and left them in longer, it was 25 mins before I felt ready to remove them and at that point they were still maleable enough to poke a small hole and set in some cord (not suplied) which will help me not to drop or loose them. I also didn't attempt to make the pinch grip as shown on the auction photo but the cord makes removal simple.
I used them on the bike for the first time on Saturday and they are effective and very comfortable. I hate having my hearing blocked to the point I feel like I'm listening through my jaw bones. I also hate not being able to hear the traffic. I was able to do both whilst enjoying a great reduction in wind noise. I'm happy to give these a real ....
