Windshield overcovers Rycote Overcovers Grey — pack with 6 fur pieces and 30 stickies

Rycote Overcovers Grey are replacement fur windshields supplied as a pack containing six grey overcovers and thirty adhesive sticky pads. Designed to be fitted over compatible microphone windscreens, these overcovers help reduce wind noise and protect microphones during outdoor and location recording. The neutral grey colour minimizes visual distraction while providing consistent coverage for broadcast, film and field recording environments.

Advantages

These overcovers provide a straightforward method to restore or enhance the wind protection of existing microphone windscreens without replacing the entire windshield assembly. The synthetic fur construction balances wind attenuation and compactness, while the included sticky pads offer a reliable means to attach and secure the overcovers to a wide range of compatible foam or plastic windscreens. The neutral grey finish is suitable for professional settings where low visual impact is required.

How to use

Choose an overcover and a suitable sticky pad for the microphone windshield being used. Clean the windshield surface to ensure good adhesion, then apply a sticky pad to the inside of the fur overcover or directly to the windshield as appropriate. Fit the overcover over the existing windshield and press firmly so the adhesive contacts the surface. Confirm that the overcover is securely attached and does not obstruct the microphone capsule or any controls.

Usage recommendations

For best performance in windy conditions, inspect adhesive pads regularly and replace them as they lose tack. Store spare overcovers and sticky pads in a dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive and fur condition. When used with professional microphones, verify that the overcover does not interfere with microphone mounting or shock mounts.
