Fairing on Trike?
 
Any experience as to whether a fairing (Windwrap WGX type) have any material increase in speed when riding in reasonably flat (28-32 feet of elevation per mile) but strong 15-20 mph winds? I have no interest in weather protection just help with the wind. Trike is a Cat Dumont with 42 degree seat angle.

Save your money, too bulky and you don't need the extra weight. I had one for years and when I finally removed it was like a breath of fresh air.

You might get some insight here from riders who have used them on both bikes and trikes: Fairing question - BentRider Online Forums

I'm not a fan, either. They can rattle and the aero benefit, in my experience, was virtually zero. However, I'm only one opinion and there are others that swear by them.
