Safer Cycling Through Sound Engineering™
Product Selection Guide
Cat-Ears has products for all types of cycling
We offer cyclists two primary material options designed to mitigate ear wind noise: our longer-pile faux fur and our proprietary short-pile. Our longer-pile faux fur is engineered to provide the most significant level of wind noise reduction by maximizing airflow disruption and diffusion. Conversely, our proprietary short-pile material offers effective wind noise management through a distinct fiber structure and texture, presenting a more low-profile solution. These distinct material offerings allow riders to select the optimal balance between noise reduction performance and aesthetic or aerodynamic preference.

Classic
Recommended Use
Casual / Club
Our original acoustic faux fur Classic model reduces the most wind noise. Some people think that they look like Elvis sideburns.
Wind Noise Reduction
Perceived wind noise reduction up to 75% at approximately 15 mph.
Size
~6 cm (~2.4") long
~3.4 cm (~1.4") wide
~2.2 cm (~.9") thick
Materials
Classics are engineered
with poly-acrylic micro-fibers that interact with the wind to reduce both velocity and turbulence intensity. The soft backing incorporates spandex so they fit all helmet straps and they attach easily with quality VELCRO® Brand hook and loop.
Weight
~2.2 grams
Comfort
Classics are made from soft breathable material. We do not recommend for very hot or very humid weather.
Acoustic Transparency
The materials we use have been independently tested for acoustic transparency at Antioch University.
Classic Slim
Recommended Use
All Purpose / MTB
The Classic Slim is a smaller and more discreet version of the Classic. While slightly less effective, they still provide excellent performance.
