Not enough space for a full dead rat, but need to add wind protection to the inside of a hat. Cloth? Thin foam? Thin Cardboard?
PM Me if this is too sensitive of a topic.
forget the hat and invest in an afro wig :P
Three words - fur pimp hat.
Cool. What a great idea! Like this? I wouldn't stick out at all.

Maybe so, maybe not, but you'd look f'in smokin'!!! :yack:
you could cover them with a pair of these mic furs and run inside the hat.

"Dead mice" :laugh:
It's windy inside your hat?
That's mind blowing.
Without going into a lot of detail, its a fairly porous head gear, and the sound I get is more like cavitation in quiet parts, rather than full on wind noise. Actually, a frigging cocktail napkin did a pretty good job for the 2nd set.
I would have thin and thick foam interchangable for really windy vs calmer days

I've used thin Neumann windscreens in a hat with no problems. If you need beefier wind protection, take a piece of (acoustically transparent) speaker fabric and put it tight over the cap before putting the windscreen on over it.

You missed the funniest part of Gutbuckets post...IT'S MIND BLOWING!!! ;D :coolguy:
I wouldn't use foam at all inside a hat...just get some fur or use the tip of a dark sock (1 or 2 layers) and collapse it around the mics and fasten with a rubber band...won't take up any extra space. Since it's hidden, looks don't matter.
Good tip on the socks.........
^^ If your hatband isn't leather, you could probably safety pin the socks to the hatband to help keep the mics from slipping around up on your head.
Get a small and dark stuffed animal and cut off the hands... I know kinda morbid :'(
Use dark bread ties to secure them to the cables. Works for me... nuff said.

why yes, yes I have and the connection never even entered my mind until your post
I am in no way suggesting that someone use the arms and legs of a recently deceased senator for wind attenuation
LOL... How appropriate! But they do work damn fine :wink2:
PM sent on this. This is getting too 007.
The solution was, Reticular Foam, in 1/4 inch thicknesses (same stuff for speaker covers), lining the hat (what a PITA), and similar multiple layers of that foam covering the caps. This was a sewing project, for which I was not well suited, buts its done.
I was gonna suggest baby socks.
