Protecting your ears

[sniper34d]

Hi guys,

When wearing a baseball cap how do you protect your ears? I hate the idea of taking a .28 to the ear, especially inside your ear. So if you cover your ears... how do you do it?

Headphones are obvious, so lets exclude them

In colder weather theres always the choice of those russian hats with the ear flap like-things.

Re: Protecting your ears

my ears are covered,

left ear covered by my bowman headset,

right ear covered by shemagh/ tac face wrap

Re: Protecting your ears

Even if you exclude my headset, both ears are covered by the lower strap of my mesh face mask.

I don't tend to cover my ears, but perhaps I should as I was at Dragon Valley the time some tw*t decided to shoot through a key hole and embedded the BB in someones ear lobe.

My wife's always worn a woolly hat pulled down over her ears after I told her about that.

Re: Protecting your ears

I have one of those kinda neck warmer things (in DPM, can get changed to 7 different styles, headband, bandanna, whole face cover etc)

I fold it up a few times, wear it as a bandana over my forehead and my ears...

i know its not the best description... its early

Well I have a balaclava on so all my face is covered when i put my mesh goggles on

Re: Protecting your ears

myself and my team all wrap shemaghs around our faces for protection. this includes ears.

i personally have a black hunting cap with the fold down earwarmers/protecters

works a treat, and has the benifit of when not wanting them down you just clip the flaps up. :D

Re: Protecting your ears

I've got a logger hat that I wear with my Balkan militia loadout, otherwise it's usually just a shemagh. I took a shot to the ear-lobe the other weekend. It was an unlucky shot, as I was wearing my hoody up over a cap.

Re: Protecting your ears

I have quite a few piercings in both ears, the bb's tend so bounce off with a nice "ting!" when I do get hit. Doesn't really hurt though. =]

Re: Protecting your ears

TO those that use headphones etc... do you find they block out the sound of what is going on? Do they get hot underneath?
