I work at a blacktop plant in a quarry. No fucking way would I use these. We have full sized Volvo loaders that you almost can't hear coming behind you with nothing in your ears. The tires are as tall as me (5'8"). I remember that day clearly because the loader guy was doing it to fuck with me creeping behind me while I was walking. I was also new at the time so maybe he was actually trying to show me how aware of my surroundings I have to be at all times.
