Our Favorite Cycling Wind Gear
"With Cat-Ears / AirStreamz, I found I was enjoying rides more... Simply because I could hear more of what I wanted and less of what I didn't."
G. Liu / J. Lindsay, Bicycling Magazine
BikeRadar's First Look (2012) and Update
"Cat-Ears work well at reducing wind noise, particularly at higher speeds. Allowing improved awareness of surrounding traffic and racers. I heard little more than tires, gears, and birds on my a.m. ride."

Triathlon Essentials for Racing Fast, Training Hard, and Having Fun
"Wrap this half inch pile material around your helmet strap to reduce wind noise in your ears... so you can more easily hear cars coming and friends talking."

Cat-Ears Wind Noise Reducers
"Do they work? Yes, as advertised, We found it easier to hear traffic and carry on conversations."
J. Sumner, RoadBikeReview / MTBR
Adventure Cycling Association
"I can't say enough good things about this product. Wind noise can inhibit one's ability to distinguish traffic noise, often a first line of defense, particularly in an urban setting, Cat-Ears don't restrict hearing while others I've tried do."
P. Finley, Adventure Cycling Association
The Cat's Pajamas for Noise Reduction
"Cat-Ears are a simple but surprisingly effective product that can make a real difference, especially on group rides. I'd almost go so far as to say they're purr-fect."
D. McCausland, Sportive (UK)
League of American Bicyclists Instructor / Coach
"I had the opportunity to try your products this weekend... About halfway through the ride, I suddenly realized that I could hear EVERYTHING that was being said in my group of 5 riders! I could still hear some wind noise, but I was very impressed with the fact that I could hear riders several bike lengths in front of me."
Cycling Instructor / Coach, League of American Bicyclists
Essai : Cat Ears / des oreilles de chat !
"Yes, they are effective. In addition to being tiring on long rides, wind noise is exhausting both mentally and physically, as the continuous noise drowns out the sound of traffic and cyclists behind you. Equipped with 'Cat-Ears', you can better understand the conversations of your friends on your travels. These accessories can therefore be seen as elements of comfort and safety."
A. Donnet, VeloDeRoute (FR)
Cat-Ears Cut Wind Noise
"Wind noise can drown out other sounds such as traffic and speech. It can also result in unpleasant ear pain and contribute to overall ride fatigue. Cat-Ears dampen and deflect the wind without cutting out all the important sounds we need to hear while riding."
K. Carlson, Urban Velo
Cat-Ears... Simple and Ingenious
"Getting around by bike is enjoyed by all the senses. The simple and ingenious Cat-Ears allow us to hear what is really important... without the distortion of wind noise."
M. Ibars, Bicimag (ES)
Cat-Ears on Bike Sport Radio
"With Cat-Ears, you're blocking that noise coming from the wind. Now you can actually hear more of what's coming up behind you. If you are in a road race or mountain bike cross country race, you'll be able to better hear your opponent attacking you from behind and this will give you an advantage over the other racers."
R. Sandoval, Bike Sport Radio
Bikin' Valais Review
"Similar to windshields that journalists put on microphones outside... Wind noise is not completely removed, but significantly attenuated. The other observation is that I feel like I am riding slower."
J. Fess, Bikin' Valais (CH)
