That is helpful - good for Rycote.
I made my own from some long-haired fabric I found at a fabric store.
I needed a lot for an outdoor orchestral recording and doing it
myself was the only way I could afford it.
I did buy the genuine Rycote article for the main stereo mic, though,
which turned out to be a good move.
Before I bought the material for the DIY covers, I checked for
transparency by holding it close to one ear and listening for HF drop
off.

Here is the answer I received from Rycote, which looks helpful:
Kevin - I received a note from Rycote regarding your DIY interest (we
are Redding Audio, the US Distributor for Rycote). There are two DIY
Kits that you can buy and here is a link (http://www.flickr.com/
photos/rycote/3065690262/in/set-72157616126597081/
) for you to see what I am speaking of. You have a choice of two
kits: one featuring the longer, Softie fur (Part # 055403, $33.00 Pro
Net Price), the other kit is using the shorter, Mini-Windjammer fur
(Part # 055402, $22.00 Pro Net Price). The Kits will come with the
cloth-backed fur, as well as a velcro strip. Unfortunately, you will
not find a Dealer that will have the Kits in stock. If you do not have
a favorite Rycote dealer, I can certainly give you a few
recommendations in your area. Thanks Kevin, and feel free for any
other questions.
Sincerely,
Mike DiMatteo
