The Rycote Overcovers Advanced are larger in size than the original Rycote Overcovers. The Advanced Overcovers measure 1" (26mm) in diameter and the fur appears to be more dense than the fur on the original Overcovers.

Yes the stickie part goes directly on the lavalier, I've used them on multiple lavs in the past and never ran into this issue. However in your case try using the microphone with the clip to avoid further problems.

Hey Joshua, I often reuse the same cover on the same actors/subjects. They do eventually get frazzled and kinda gross cause there is no way to wash them, but you can easily get a few uses or more out of them before tossing them.

They help. The key is placement. Assess where clothing will not be rubbing against the mic. I find the inside of shirt collars to work well in general, as they tend to be held out from the body/shirt a bit. On women, sometimes placing the mic on clothing in the suspended cleavage area can protect the mic from rubbing/noise. Each situation requires a quick assessment.

Hi: thanks for your question. The Micro Windjammers are much smaller, and calibrated specifically for use on cameras in terms of fur length and overall size.
