by the way, not sure if you read the product description or just the title but... they actually are for clothing noise, not for wind... see below...

"The Rycote Undercover pads are a disposable mount and windshield used for mounting lavalier microphones underneath clothing....The woven fabric disc is placed over the microphone and adhesive surface, sandwiching the microphone and eliminating structure and rustling noise caused by movement of clothing, cables, etc."
