I mostly just rely on my Kangaroogol to block wind.  That seems to work well when winds are under 10mph.  I wonder if these AT windscreens would work with MK41s for those days when the winds are 10mph+?

Well for outdoors show i have Shure big ass screens....for steXXth i can't picture how you would use dead rats?  Dead rats only work if the mics are out in the open i thought.

Ok. So how do you stealth outdoor shows? No dead rats? I use dead rats in my kangol for at853 mics. Works perfectly for outdoor shows. But I'd love to use my Schoeps outdoors in the hat...

My 41s practically live in my Kangaroogol - outdoors and indoors.  I've never used any kind of windscreens; and so far no problems in that regard.  Although I don't think I've dealt with any really strong winds (maybe up to 12 mph).
