Cyclist wearing the Skerravo wind shield under a road helmet

The wind stops here.

A wind shield for road cyclists. Not earmuffs.

Reserve for $10

At 30 km/h, the wind at your ears is louder than a chainsaw.

Wind exposure constricts blood flow in the outer ear. The result is documented by riders everywhere: earache, dull headaches, vertigo, hearing fatigue after years on the bike. Most improvise with buffs and headbands. None of it was designed for this.

The object

Designed like an instrument, not an accessory.

Two sculpted pads sit flat against the head. A single arc connects them behind it, invisible from the front. It works with your helmet and your sunglasses, not against them.

Helmet. Glasses. Shield. All three, no fight.

You had two options. Both were bad.

Nothing  The roar, the ache, the ride cut short.

skerravo. Built for the bike.

  • Anodized matte shell splits the airstream before it reaches your ear. Open acoustics keep traffic audible.
  • The arc rides behind your head. From the front, nothing but the pads. Helmet straps and retention cradle clear it.
  • A molded eyewear channel in the inner foam swallows any temple arm. Glasses first, shield second, done.

Hear more, not less.

Above 30 km/h, wind noise masks the sound of approaching traffic. Riders describe hearing nothing but the roar.

Skerravo does not seal your ear. There is no cushion pressing against it, no noise cancellation, nothing covering the canal. It sits in the airflow in front of the ear and reduces the wind itself.

Less wind noise means you hear the road better. The car behind you. The rider calling out. The things that matter.

This is the opposite of headphones. Your ears stay open. The wind gets quieter.

Where we are

We would rather tell you exactly where this product stands than pretend it is finished.

The design is locked. The geometry, materials and fit system are final.

A physical prototype is in production. Before anything ships, we will test acoustics on the road at 35 to 40 km/h and publish the measured wind reduction figure. We will validate fit with helmets and three types of eyewear frames, from thin wire to thick acetate.

If something does not pass, we fix it before it reaches you. Your reservation funds a product that works, not a promise.

Test results will be published on this page.

Questions

Will I still hear traffic? +
Better than before. Skerravo reduces wind noise without sealing the ear. Nothing covers your ear canal. Less roar means more awareness, not less.
Does it work with a helmet? +
Yes. The band runs low across the back of the head, below the helmet retention cradle. It never touches the helmet. This was the core engineering decision.
Does it work with glasses? +
Yes. A molded channel in the inner padding accommodates eyewear temples of any thickness. Put your glasses on first, then the shield.
Is this an earmuff? +
No. Earmuffs are winter clothing shaped around warmth. Skerravo is a wind shield: a rigid sculpted pad that sits in the airflow in front of your ear and cuts wind noise. Different function, different construction, different reason to exist.
Will one size fit me? +
The fixed-curve spring band is dimensioned for the 40th to 95th percentile adult head. Self-aligning pads adjust ±10° to different skull shapes. Fit validation on real heads happens before production, and we will publish the results.
How much does it weigh? How many dB does it cut? +
We do not know yet, and we will not invent numbers. Both figures come from prototype testing and will be published on this page before anything ships.
Where do I put it when I take it off? +
Around your neck, like bone-conduction headphones, or in a jersey pocket. A protective case is included for storage and transport.
When does it ship? +
Fall 2026, US first. Your reservation is your place in the first production run.
What if I change my mind? +
The $10 reservation is fully refundable any time before shipping. One click, no questions.
Who is behind this? +
A new brand doing things properly: locked design, published test data, honest specs. Read the founder story below.

Why this exists

I live in a place where the wind almost never stops. For years, my "solution" was whatever I had on: a jacket hood in spring and fall, a cap in winter, nothing in summer. None of it worked. Cold wind in my ears didn't just hurt. It gave me headaches that lasted hours after the ride.

When I finally went looking for a real product, I found two categories: earmuffs designed for someone else entirely, and cycling hacks that solved the physics but failed the mirror test. Nothing was designed for this problem. Wind, ears, a helmet, and the simple wish to not look ridiculous.

So I decided to build it. Skerravo is the product I couldn't buy: one function, engineered properly, designed like equipment you'd actually want to wear.

I'm not a pro cyclist. I'm someone whose ears hurt in the wind, same as the thousands of riders describing the exact same thing on every cycling forum. This is for us.
