Question Where do you get your windscreens?

I've been looking at buying windscreens locally off the shelf. But I guess lavalier windscreens are a bit of a botique item. Is there anywhere I could go locally to get such things. I'd like a little more selection than just a single choice. I live near Austin Texas.

I've been to Guitar Center, and they had one pair to choose from. At $25 per windscreen I opted not to. I went to Radio Shack and got some tie clip windscreens $2.99 for 4 and they help. But aren't really substantial enough to stop breezes over 5mph.

Online it looks like I need some WindTech 2100's or 74169's. Or some wind jammers. But where / how would I acquire these if not locally? Most of the online catalogs I've checked don't list these specific items.
And some that do, don't do mail orders, or ship. Or at least don't respond to their email address.


So I'm looking for some of these or equivalents:

Olsen Audio: 2100 Cross Reference / Microphone Windscreen
(navy blue pair and a black pair)

Olsen Audio: 74169 Cross Reference / Mic Windscreen
(if at all possible)

KENNEDY's
(white pair and dark grey pair)


For a pair of these:

Avenson Audio


Thanks.


I guess the xref pages aren't very helpfull, so:
Olsen Audio Group: General Microphone Windscreen
Looking at the 2100 series and 74169 military's.

It looks like the wind jammers are of a rycote brand. And costly relatively speaking. Anyone know if they're worth the price? I'll probably get a pair just for the novelty of it. I was gonna get two pair, but not at that price. I suppose I'm gonna have to mail order them. wwbw is my normal source for music gear. But they don't specialize in mics and don't appear to have these in their catalog. I'd still rather just walk in and buy it off the shelf. But I guess I'll have to yield to modern times.
