Primus Windscreen

Light, easy to carry wind screen to use with the smaller backpacker stoves that use canister fuel. The picture above isn't the one I'm using, will show a pic below.

This is a really nice addition to my cook kit. I actually have two of these, buying the new one recently to go in my girls' kit. I'm trying to teach them to be self sufficient while backpacking, so I've set them up with the Primus ExpressStove set you see in the pics below. I like how this wind screen nests inside the cook kit essentially taking up zero extra space. Plus at 60 grams it's basically weightless too.

I'll let the pics below tell the rest of the story.  As long as you position the screen with the wind behind it, it works really well. The way it secures itself around the neck of the fuel canister is handy and the spring tension is such that it doesn't wiggle around.

Product Specs:

Definitely a recommended product for the backpacker.

I will not recommend to use, does not do job good. Does not protect fire from wind.

It is easy to set up, holds firmly.

Unfortunately protection is too low and does not cover open fire, as result it does not work on average wind power.

I have Primus stove with piezo, somehow it is impossible to use build-in igniter because there is no hole for finger next to piezo side.

After several attempts to use it I drop this idea and bought new foil wind protection.
