I think they may have stopped selling them. I'll try and see if I can find where I got mine from.

You could try searching for Oris Windstop. Maybe even try Ebay.

I have been after a windstop for ages (well I say me....I mean the wife!!)
anyway after not much joy and seeing nowt that I like that fits I think I may start a project.......
twin hoops in chrome/stainless with a perspex infill.....
this will NOT be a roll hoop thing but will be purely cosmetic......
I'll need to see how much this would cost and how many people would want one but as there alwars seems to be a thread on the subjust at any one time I'm guessing that the max may be in the order of 10 hoops....
any thoughts???
cheers

Sounds like a good idea for the project competition. I already suggested that somebody could resurrect andrew ennis' retractable windblock, but I like the sound of your idea better, based on aesthetic value.

I have a subwoofer mounted in the hood storage area, so I have to make sure a perspex type windblock wouldn't also block the sound from it. If I get a setup like this, I might have to replace the perspex part with a mesh panel.
