why are they not soft? does cold weather make them so stiff?

yes i think that is what made them harden up. cold weather. i work in lawncare so they will be fine during the spring and summer months. i was doing some leaves this fall and one day it was kindof cold and they were pretty hard and i couldn't get them to go down into my ears. the next day it was warmer and they worked fine. i keep them in my truck outside though. maybe if you keep them inside you wouldn't have this problem. they work good just keep them warm. lol

Cold weather made mine hard but I warmed them up in my hand and they loosened up some.

Yes the cold does make them a bit stiff but never had a problem with them being too hard. Wore them today @32 degrees this morning. I've had to wash a set on the road and they're very soft after a hand wash in the sink.

I've been using 3M earpligs for more than 30 years. They do not get stiff in cold weather.

Hmmm, they should still softly fit in your ears. These things are AWESOME. Blocks out so much noise. You aren't storing them in a cold temperature area? They are a little stiff until you place them in ears, then they soften... I'll have to check it out.

They are not that thick, my husband wears them all the time . We live in Florida and he is always cold but say,s his feet sent cold.

They are on a bed in my house in Florida and I am in Buffalo, NY right now. They are very soft. I can try to check when I go in mid-March.

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

No, they are quite stiff. The only issue that I had was that when the furniture arrived some of the chairs arrived slightly bent, but the seller took good and quick care of the same. Sorry for this late response, just found the time.

I had the same problem when wearing stiff snow boots. I've switched to waterproof hiking boots and it seems to work better. Still have to cinch them very tight when starting out.

Not sure but they feel very hard as in uniform material!!I would not probably buy these again!!

A little bit. They are pretty stiff. I thought I would break them when i tried the first time.

I think they may be a bit loose. They are very soft. A little on the thin size. Hence, the cheap price.

They are fairly stiff and rough. More like *really* dried out wipes. We replaced them with tissues.

These are pretty soft.. They were stiffer when I first got them, but after a wash or two.. They were perfect!!

The ones I got were rigid, they had a tiny bit of flex to it but nothing too soft.

Hello, I haven't worn them all night, but I have noticed how much warmer my knees feel when I go outside, and I live in Fairbanks, AK. They made a big difference a couple of weeks ago when it was 28 below, and I wouldn't go outside without them now. I do wear them at work for 9-1/2 hours, and find them comfortable, warm and I haven't had a problem with them for that length of time. I bought them mostly for support, but do find they give added warmth outside in the cold. This is the best answer I can give you.

They are not gritty. Nor are they smooth! They have raised letters, but I had to feel them after reading the question to know for sure. They feel more on the smooth side. Definitely not gritty!

I own a pair and I have had no problems with rippiing or tearing. Because both pairs are doing the same thing, I suspect you might be kneeling on them or maybe the cold winter weather is breaking down the leather. I do not think they are supposed to be exposed to that kind of cold. I just use them for getting in my pond.

They are not as soft as some others I have tried. Frankly, I won't buy them again.

I can not say if they will hold up in the heat or cold. These are the heaviest bags I have seen. I would think in the heat the would become more flexible but in cold conditions I don't know.
