careful you'll rile up the rycote fanbois who think you should support them because they were first on the R/D scene.

Thanks for the link!  I had been trying to find these and kept getting their brand confused with the other "wind"-based names. 

I'm a Rycote fanboy, but solely of their shockmounts   ;)

The Windcutter's Storm Chaser model is solid. They can also make you a version any size/shape you want if you give them dimensions. Great customer service from this company....and Made in the USA.

Agreed!!  I have the storm chasers for my DPA screens and they work great.  Liked the setup so much I sold my Big shures.

Another vote for Windcutters.  I got the Sound Master dead rats for an AT825, AT4050s, and an Avantone CK-40.  Used with foam screens, they work incredibly well.  Not cheap, but definitely well made.  And I'll second that their customer service is fantastic.  They may even give you a TS discount....
