Not quite, real men don`t wear gloves!
Didn’t used to wear gloves, but my hands got soft after retiring, not only that but I hate grabbing a big ole gob of pitch!Not quite, real men don`t wear gloves!

I can’t hear you, I have my earplugs in.( I can read lips though! )
Where I come from gloving up meant smearing enough pitch on your hands to wipe the hair off a greased boar.Didn’t used to wear gloves, but my hands got soft after retiring, not only that but I hate grabbing a big ole gob of pitch!
I say what about 100 times a day or more. Wear the hearing protectors.I won't even mow the grass without ear plugs and safety glasses.
My brother on the other hand operates a saw mill, chainsaw and shoots his guns without any protection at all.
He's 52 and his favorite word is WHAT ? WHAT ?
I wear ear plugs AND helmet with ear muffs, too.I actually really like my helmet that has the ear muffs and shield built right in. Makes things easier for me.

This has happened to me! I always used ear plugs to protect my hearing until this happened. Now I use mouse cancelling muffs with built-in blue tooth so I can listen to music while wearing them.Over the ear muffs are better than ear plugs in the long run. The plugs can cause a backup of wax and gunk in the ear that will then require a visit to a clinic and a trained nurse to remove it. The Doc told me that has happened a dozen or more times a year for his patients alone. You would be surprised at how much wax build-up can get in there.
Just have to remember not to spit.If your cutting brush away you could flip your shield down to protect your eyes while doing that too.
I don’t know, I leave it down all the time anyways if my helmet is on.
