Optimus Clip-On Windshield 8018907

Small, simple, and effective. It's not as light as titanium but it also doesn't cost that much. It flexes and clips onto the neck of your fuel can and provides effective wind protection for most low profile stoves without the risk of falling off or causing your fuel can to overheat. Be sure the "radius" of this windshield will work with your pot/cook system. I use it with the Optimus Terra Weekend HE (.95L) pot and it fits perfectly (since it was designed for this pot) and should work fine with similar or smaller diameter pots. It probably won't work with larger diameter pots.I haven't tried doing an actual "weigh your fuel and see how much you save" test but I just like the fact that I can easily rotate this around and have it block the wind and still have access to my stove's igniter and valve on the "downwind side" of the windshield.Because my pot nests inside of this, it essentially added no volume to my backpack, only a little extra weight.

Used the "Optimus" while backpacking the Mt Whitney high country (Sequoias/Inyo) for 5 days. Worked like a charm and even gave my "GSI SI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist" more stability. Worth every penny for the price. And YES....worked great with a decent amount of wind.Clamps on to the neck of the canister and no wobble. Even looks great!I leave it wrapped about my pot and pack it together as if it's a unit.I use it with my "Ultralight Backpacking Canister Camp Stove with Piezo Ignition 3.9oz (silvery Stove and orange box)" (Amazon) and in my humble opinion......... me it packs down smaller then a Jet Boil.

It works as designed, and less hassle than a screen made from foil that will blow away. Doesn't pack super small, but will keep your stove working in the wind.

My husband has one and I always thought they were unnecessary and silly. Until I saw how well his worked in the wind! I saved money in the past with the little "fold up hinging kind" and I'm giving that away now. This doesn't take up much space since it clips to the canister/pot for storage. Worth the investment.

It nests around the outside of my 750 pot kit so it only adds a few ounces overall and does what it needs to do. Well made. So it does not take up any space in my pack and could be used even with a alcohol stove. I use it with a BRS stove and they are more wind sensitive than others. It will ultimately save me burn time and extend by canister life.

Gets the job done. Care needed to ensure that it doesn't scratch the cooking pot when packed up.

Performs exactly as expected. Well built with a durable spring clamp and solid riveting. Should last for decades. Shields the stove from the wind and reflects heat back to the cooking utensil, this saving burn time and fuel.

This is a great windshield that is generally stove agnostic.Basically it's two quarter slices that bend where they meet, allowing you to hook the base onto any gas canister (100gram or 220-240 gram canisters).I tried a few stoves with it, and the basic results for fit are:- Snow Peak Giga Power: Yes. The low height of this stove means great win protection.- Soto Compact: No. The pot stand portion hits up against the edge, forcing an angle. Probably still could use small cups, but limited.- Soto Windmaster: Sorta. The included pot stand works, but the optional quad-arm pot stand is too wide. Also, the tallness of this stove means the stove is about level with the upper rim of the wind screen, so while it might help a little, I'm not sure how big a difference it would be.- Snow Peak Litemax: Yes. in fact, I think this might be the best fit for this screen.Low and wide pots won't fit very well on this, but just about any cup or liter sized tall and narrow pot should do just fine.- Terra HE Weekend. Yes- Snow Peak Trek 900. Yes- Snow Peak Hybrid Summit. Yes- Snow Peak cookset. tight and off center, but sorta- Toaks 1600. tight and off center, but sorta.- Terra HE cookset. Not really. Too wide.Overall, this is one impressive wind screen, and it's a bummer that it isn't sold in more places.If you already use a compact gas stove, don't want to do an additional investment in a jetboil, MSR Reactor, or a Primus ETALite, and depending on which compact gas stove you own, this might be perfect for for problems with wind.
