helmet clip on ear covers

Several months ago I remeber someone mentioning some ear covers you could clip to your helmet to reduce wind noise. I've tried searching for them and the thread they were mentioned in, but can't find anything. Help?

Nope. Thanks for the reply though!

I think they were called wings or something like that. There were two styles. One was just a little plastic spoiler that cliped to the strap in front of your ear to deflect the wind. The other actually covered the front portion of your ear, but was open in the back so you can hear traffic behind you. The second style allowed you to clip an ear bud inside it if you wanted to listen to music w/o having the bud in your ear (and blocking traffic noise/being dangerous).
