Check out: www.micover.com. I have purchased covers for my Rode microphones from them. Great customer service and prices A LOT lower than the OEM covers. Oh, and you get a little comb if you want to slap some gel in your hair and slick it back like a 50s greaser. I *think* that's what the comb is for, right?

PS.
In case anyone wants to see that review of the windcut just search this site, Emm posted it a while back.

Not overly impressed with those results but it's an improvement.
I tried the same thing with two various kinds of fur and did not get any good results myself. You can see them in my YT channel youtube.com/nitsanpictures
Now I use the Windcut one that I reviewed some months ago and the results are just perfect.
Costs a little more than DIY solutions but worth it for professional use. About £15 shipped.

@Frank, yes, I've seen that site, they look very good! I'm in the UK though so it's good that the Windcut is based here.

@Krotoflik, try closing that hole in the front! I found that with my DIY ones that was the most problematic place.

I purchase my stuff from www.thewindcutter.com Their stuff is great and less expensive than leading brands.

eh... Yeah this will cancel out all of the wind noises but it will also cancel out all high frequencies as well. Between the padding and the foam grip this can't possibly be acoustically transparent...

I suppose if you already have these items this could save you in a pickle.
