I would love to shoot suppressed but that's just not in the cards at the moment unfortunately.I got tired of using ear plugs and ear muffs of all types. I started hunting suppressed 3 years ago and I couldn't be happier. If that's an option I would prefer to shoot suppressed over any ear protection.
I can see that, my daughter was using a 6mm rem this season and I kept the horseshoe style handy, never got a chance to use them but we came prepared. I suppose I could have packed muffs since the weight wouldn't have amounted to anything in the pack along with the spotter, tripod and the extra layers brought along.+1 On the horseshoe type. It seem like these are the least cumbersome and are right there when you need them. I always seem to find them really quickly after squeezing the trigger on the 300WM with the 4-port slab brake . I recommend staying away from the ear plugs with the cord/rope that connects them together. Those get tangled in the bino harness, hoods, and hats too much.
When hunting with my 15 year old daughter this year, I packed a set of Walker's Lazer Series Low Profile ear muffs. They work great because you can communicate when ranging and calling the shots. I'd rather pack the extra weight when hunting with her, but I guess that's just dad - always wanting to protect his daughter.
Been wearing them around my neck for years. Don`t even notice them anymore.Another here using orange horse shoe ones. I just hunt with them around my neck. They work well enough, even for my 338 RUM with an aggressive brake.
I use to wear walker low profile ears with the build in mic, but they would get annoying in extreme weather.
