Had to drain my ear for the first time yesterday (thanks Glenn and Eisner!)...so now I want to grab some ear protection.
What do you recommend? Brute? Which model?

You will probably get a wide variety of answers on this, but the Cliff Keen Signature is low profile (against your head), bulletproof, and stays on your head if adjusted and taped correctly (most people tape the top two bands together). I had a pair of Brute Quadtechs for a few years and then my Cliff Keens for about 5 years. The Cliff Keens have been way better for me. I am sure others can weigh in on some of the less low profile models like the Tornado and etc.

Adult Brute Shockwave's or Adult Brute Ultra Max's IF you can find them.Quote:

There's probably others but these are good for Jiu-Jitsu. Hope I've been some help. :)
I 2nd the Matman Ultrasoft, great product.
I wear a luchador mask, I have never had an issues with my ears while wearing it, then I misplaced it for a week and ended up having to drain my ear. So back to the mask full time.
It doesn't move on my head its fairly easy to take on and off with laces up the back, super low profile and it works, I just had the guy that made mine add a little extra padding over the ear and add some vinyl to the outside where my ears are.
only cons is that it gives your opponent more traction, and it is a bit warmer but you get used to that, but I think the intimidation factor makes up fpr it.

Yeah, but chicks and guys who have never trained just think you have a birth defect.Quote:
