Cat-Ears are proven to be the most effective Wind Noise* reduction products of their kind (see chart). They have been independently tested, reviewed, and recommended by Bicycling and Outside Magazines.
INTRODUCING our SMALLEST AirStreamz, based on our PileTech materials engineering, recommended for Club to Competitive Cyclists.
Aero-acoustically developed, AirStreamz are made from soft pile materials that interact with oncoming wind (dampen / dissipate / deflect) - reducing the intensity of noise producing wind turbulence.
Cat-Ears products are sound permeable for safe road cycling. "Wind Noise can inhibit one's ability to distinguish traffic noise. Cat-Ears don't restrict hearing while others I've tried do." - Adventure Cycling Association.
*Wind Noise is a complex phenomenon spanning aerodynamics, acoustics, and the physiology of human hearing. The amount experienced depends on factors like: 1) speed, 2) riding position, 3) head shape, 4) turbulence, and so on. With Cat-Ears, wind noise levels are reduced by 14-16 dBA between 20 and 20k Hz. This is a reduction in sound pressure level of ~75%. But microphones and ears behave differently. And while the amount of perceived wind noise reduction averages ~60%, we stand behind our products as the most effective devices of their kind on the market. Material effectiveness has also been tested at Antioch Univers
"Cat-Ears work dramatically well. I found I was enjoying rides more, simply because I could hear more of what I wanted to, and less of what I didn't." - Bicycling
Designed with air 'flow through' porosity, Airstreamz wick away perspiration.
NOTES: Please follow all the attachment instructions. Not recommended for Specialized, Nutcase, Bern helmets. Our aero-acoustic pile material reduces the most wind noise. Cat-Ears need to rest against the face for optimal performance. Made in USA | Satisfaction Guaranteed | Contact us for assistance.
