Dan's vest is certainly inspirational =96 was for me when I tried it out
at a Nature Sounds Society event a couple years ago and it gave me
some great ideas for coming up with my own DIY windscreen solution
system for my lavalieres. Mine, called Tree Ears, were designed to
be strapped to a tree trunk for quasi-binaural stereo.

They are quite versatile and can even be slung over ones shoulders and
worn similar to Dan's vest system.
And regarding the faux fur group order, it would be good to know how
the Monterey Mills Fox worked out for those that joined in the order.
For me, I ended up finding a couple other furs that I liked better
(made by Shannon) and have been using those for now.
