Either will work, Tim. Actually, I think I prefer the Rykote system
to the Sennheiser wind protection because the Rykote is a bit more
accessible (the Rykote zeppelin requires just a quarter twist for
access whereas the Sennheiser is a screw-on system that sometimes
doesn't thread easily). We've got both and opt for the Rykote, so far.
