I asked Remote Audio if they would make custom rainshields or put me in con=
tact with their vendor, but they said no. The Rainman consists of a sheet o=
f synthetic batting enclosed in synthetic net, nicely edged with a hook-and=
-loop closure strip along the bottom. The idea is 1) raindrops are quieted =
by hitting the batting, and 2) water is diverted around through the batting=
and drips off the bottom. I've never used it in real rain.
