Wind noise is created by air rushing past the folds of your ear. The WindFoil's lightweight polymer surface uses patented MicroVents to create a laminar airflow. This prevents unwanted wind noise while permitting ordinary sound to pass through. WindFoils easily clip to your helmet straps and fit comfortably over your ears. Cycling or skating becomes safer and more enjoyable.

WindFoil Advantages
Increased safety: By reducing wind noise one can better hear and be more aware of his or her environment. Being able to hear approaching traffic has obvious safety benefits. Another safety benefit is that once accustomed to the pleasures of reduced wind noise you are less likely to forget, or be willing to ride or skate without your helmet. If I inadvertently begin a ride or skate without my helmet, the wind noise immediately reminds me to go back and get it.

Decreased Fatigue: Noise fatigue can be just as tiring as other kinds of fatigue. I have been riding with another person and had him say to me, “This head wind is killing me.” Until he made that comment, I had not even noticed the headwind. I was wearing WindFoils, he was not. By not being constantly reminded how strong the headwinds are, WindFoils enhance performance and actually help a person train harder.

Racer's Edge: In competition, increased ability to hear the competition will offer the racer a distinct advantage in knowing how hard to push or how tightly to turn.

Protection from hearing damage: Standing in a field facing the wind, a 22 MPH breeze generates up to 90 decibels of wind noise. Some industrial regulations limit noise level exposure to less then 85-dB (A) for daily eight hour exposure, and 88-dB (A) for daily four hour exposure. While a typical bicyclist or skater may not be exposed to these levels for four to eight hours daily as in the work place, he or she would be exposed to considerably higher levels of sound than allowed for long periods in the work place. WindFoils reduce the noise levels far below the danger levels.

Increased enjoyment of your ride or skate: WindFoils' wind-noise reducing qualities coupled with their sound transparency make a ride or skate more enjoyable. Without WindFoils all a person hears once he or she has attained a certain speed in relation to the wind is wind noise. Wearing WindFoils you will enjoy hearing the birds, the wind in the trees, conversations, traffic, and all the other sounds of your surroundings. WindFoils make a ride or skate more fun.

Comfortable and lightweight: A person wearing WindFoils will not be aware of them except for the noticeably reduced wind noise. WindFoils weigh 17 grams each.
