I use the Movo WSTT50 with my CM3s which are tiny, and I also use them with the Naiant X-Q which are even smaller than actives.  Excellent performance, and cheap.

I use the AKG W90 or W32 for all my actives. They cover the cap and the collette, leaving the clip area exposed. I’ll post some pics when I get a chance. I even use these screens with my modded Naks. They are relatively inexpensive and you can always throw a small dead rat over them for the high winds.

Thanks Voltronic
They were on my radar but I wasnt sure if they would block the openings on the mics.  I should have also mentioned Ideally they will be ok to run in a hat as I often do that.  What diameter are your mics?/ opening on the  movo's ?

They shouldn't block the vents on your actives.  No good for a hat though, unless you're Pharell Williams!  My mics are 20mm (CM3) and 19mm (X-Q).  The opening on the Movo is difficult to measure exactly as it's a flexible rubber ring, but they state 18-24mm as the diameter they work with.

Movo’s are great for open taping, but seem useless in a hat. Try the inexpensive wintech screens.
