Ryan,
I agree, you will need some wind protection, it only takes a light
breeze to ruin a recording.
For my various DIY foam SASSes I use several layers:
Message: 1.
Subject: sheer stretchy lycra type of fabric
Message: 2.
Subject: a thin woollen beanie
Message: 3.
Subject: an open-knit furry mohair 'beanie' or similar, green is a good
colour for camo
I really can't pick the difference if I remove some of the layers, so
I generally leave them all on, and that protects the mics from the
elements as well
Good luck with your recording, you should get some good sounds with
that rig.
