I sewed together some faux fur so they fitted snugly over the foam windshie=
lds that are supplied with the mic's and I was quite surprised how effectiv=
e they were. They have allowed me to record in fairly blustery conditions, =
anything more and I don't think I would have wanted to record anyway. Altho=
ugh I also made up some much larger faux fur 'socks' that will fit over eac=
h microphone and it's barrier, with both on I don't think I would want to b=
e out in the wind that got through that! :-)) But I usually just go with th=
e fur covers over the foam windshields. Beware of the bass cut switch it ca=
n pay to put a bit of tape over that as well.

Will you be using them fixed to a barrier? As that also helps to reduce the=
 impact of wind on the capsules I have found.

PS My sewing won't win any competitions but it does the job!
