** Updated with extra "wet" test after conversation with Rycote **

Windjammer manufacturer Rycote have updated their range of "Super Softie" fur-less windjammers which they launched last year. They have a revised shape and still claim performance better than the traditional furry wind jammer. But do the claims stack up? I put them to the test.

If you'd like to buy either the old or new Softie or the Sennheiser mic I used, then please go via my Amazon links as I get a small commission that way to keep the reviews coming:

"Old" Softie (18cm): amzn.to/1ABeUQL
Super Softie (18cm/29-22): amzn.to/1ABeXMs
Sennheiser ME66/K6: amzn.to/1yHDTjP
