MG windstop
|
|

70 mph Wind chill: -3.3oC Wind noise: 12.5 dB |
Newton Commercial windstop

Cost £122.93 + VAT Hey, it is the cheapest windstop on the market. It doesn't require drilling to fit. Probably the cheapest built here, but it works well, and that counts. |
Rear view: *** |
30 mph Wind chill: -2.6oC Wind noise: 11.3 dB |
70 mph Wind chill: -1.8oC Wind noise: 20.3 dB |
Mike Satur windstop
|

Cost £225.00 + VAT Most expensive, but is the best built, best looking, easiest to fit... the list of advantages go on. Mike Satur has improved the mesh design since this test, so expect better high speed performance. |
