Review on 🚘 Optimus Windshield Clip-On by Shane Grosland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great if you have the right size pot and flat stove

Small, simple and efficient. It's not as light as titanium, but it doesn't cost as much either. It flexes and attaches to the fuel canister neck and provides an effective windbreak for most low profile stoves without the risk of the fuel canister falling or overheating. Make sure the "radius" of this windshield works with your pot/boiler system. I use it with an Optimus Terra Weekend HE (0.95L) pot and it fits perfectly (because it was designed for this pot) and should work well with pots of the same or smaller diameter. This probably won't work with larger pots. I haven't tried the actual "Weigh your fuel and see how much you save" test, but love the fact that I can easily flip it around and block the wind. and I still have access to the igniter and my furnace valve on the "lee side" of the windshield. Since my pan is in it, it didn't really add much weight to my pack, just a little extra weight.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Appearance
