Windjammer™

Windshield Rating: MAX
Shock Rating: NIL

The Windjammer™ first introduced by Rycote is a high quality synthetic fur-cover, which provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. When using a Windjammer™ fitted over a Windshield up to 50 dB of wind-noise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent standard audio recordings.

Each Windjammer™ fits one size of windshield, and comes supplied in every Modular Windshield Kit. Windjammer™ is also available in sizes to fit Stereo Windshields, Softies & Baby Ballgags, please see their relevant product family for details.

The Windjammer™ is made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result has virtually no adverse effect on High-Frequency. To be totally effective it is important that the pile of the Windjammer™ remains in prime condition, so each is supplied with a fold flat hairbrush for ongoing maintenance.

Standard Windjammer™ is fitted with a drawstring and toggle to allow snug and easy fitting, however some users prefer the zipped version which are available on request.

What size do I need?

Finding the correct Windjammer™ will depend on your Windshield. Each Windjammer™ is designed to fit over it's corresponding Windshield, for example a Windjammer™1 will fit over a Windshield 1 etc.

Because the Windjammer™ is most effective when fitted tightly, their approximate length is 50mm longer than their corresponding Windshield. If you are trying to match a Windjammer™ to an older or unknown Windshield please check their lengths in the Tech Specs Tab.
