The genuine Classic-Softie set the standard for slip-on wind protection.
Advanced materials, adhesives and assembly techniques all combine to make the Softie an extremely tough product that provides excellent wind protection to withstand the harshest environments.
Classic-Softie Windshield
Providing lightning-fast wind protection, the Softie is designed for modern day ENG and location recording.
Specially designed acoustic foam and synthetic fur achieve up to 25 dB of wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on high frequencies. While protecting the mic, the specialty foam is impervious to UV and moisture damage making this a trusted tool for years of effective use in the harshest environments.
Softie windshields are available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones.
