Ear Protectors

Anyone know where I can get a pair of ear protectors for grappling in Dublin?

Hey,
I saw a pair in Elvery's in Blanch one day. Might be worth checking to avoid getting reefed on shipping charges!

Haha, I was thinking the same thing:p

Actually, you do. Outside Dublin Ear protectors drown out bogger accents. Inside Dublin Ear Protections have a Skanger-blocker.

I thought Outside Dublin Ear protectors were just sods of turf mushed against the side of your head? No?

Thought the ear protectors in Dublin were larger than the ones outside to accommodate the average Dub's exceptionally large swelled head? No?:D

I generally just go out to the barn and rap my ears in hay before training.

down home on the haltin site......sorry.....the gym, me coach normally let me wrap em up in a couple of week-old breadbuns cut in half, kept in place with a woolly hat. I might try the hay thing next time though.
Please post any directions to martial arts shops relative to supermacs on O'Connell street - i'm on a high protein snack box diet and thats the only place I know in the big smoke!!


NOPE - saw those ones on the elvery's site - they look like they'll do the trick until I can get my hands on a decent set - thanks

Roper

Cool, also who would have thought Amazon would sell ear guards eh?

elverys are doing a sale on scrum caps which will do the job i'd suppose.

what do you want ear protectors for ya big pack of Dublin Sissies!

Ha Ha and all that... ... go on get it all out of you, it is pretty funny really
Imagine rolling with John Hayes, Good night!

... but seriously, use a whack of tape, why not?

bert_man

yep the link to Amazon is bang on (and thanks for it) - and i'll probably buy from it - it's what to do waiting for them to arrive is the problem......which may have to be addressed meanwhile with the elvery's solution. It's having my head down in the front-row of the scrum that has the ears banjoed in the first place. Tape does the job indeed but a scrum cap would probably be cheaper in the long-run

worried bout the looks you know:(

Mola.mola
