Its hinged, fold-flat design with ventilation holes allows easy shaping and optimal airflow, making it a compact, essential accessory for minimalist outdoor chefs.

## Description

Measures 16 1/2" x 3 1/4" expanded. One piece, fold flat design. Cut outs for proper ventilation. Light load pot support capacity. Aluminum construction. Color: Gray. Hang packaged.

Review: Perfect add-on for Trangia 28 - I own several Trangia 28 stoves (the "mini Trangia"). The stove's pot stand works well enough, but does not act as a windscreen. This windscreen is an ideal add-on to the stove for two reasons: First, it's small enough to nest inside the pot, sitting flat on the top of the burner, and between the prongs of the stand. Second, when set up, it's tall enough to cover about 3/4 inches of the pot side, thus preventing a lot of the convective heat loss. The windscreen itself is well built and functions smoothly.
Review: Light, Solid Enough, Reasonably Priced. - The Vargo screen / support is well worth its weight and price. I have been using a home made alcohol stove for backpacking for 30 years and this unit finally lured me away from my tent stakes / rocks / heavy foil screen and support system. It is lighter than just the old windscreen made from a piece of "disposable" turkey roasting pan and much less fiddlesome than supporting a pot on three tent stakes or rocks. I may end up augmenting the windscreen function with some light foil around the pot. It will still be lighter than the old system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ After many other products and attempts, I finally found something that works.
*by D***L on August 21, 2016*

After many other products and attempts, I finally found something that works. I've tried homemade windscreens created from aluminum license plates, beer cans, and roof flashing. All of them burn out after only a couple uses with my Vargo alcohol stove. A Chinese titanium foil windscreen off eBay didn't even survive a single use. This one has survived a 5 day backpacking trip while used with my Vargo Triad stove. My stove was used 4-5 times a day between meals and coffee. There is a little bit of minor discoloration to the shield (which is to be expected), but no significant physical distortion. It doesn't seem to be rotting away like my homemade shields did either. I like the convenience of just unfolding and folding much better than the stainless foil shield that came with my MSR Whisperlite International. It folds down small enough to fit inside my 1 liter pot outside of my cup (which contains my stove, igniter, and spork). For the record, I haven't used this with my MSR yet, I plan to try it, but if it starts distorting I'll quickly remove it before the shield is ruined. Although it doesn't even wrap all the way around my 1 liter pot, that isn't a big deal. Just place it on the side the wind is blowing from and it still works fine. My only complaint is its weight. I'm sure Vargo had their reason for not making this product of titanium like the majority of their other products, but it seems to weigh almost as much as my cookset (full titanium including pot, cup, spork, and stove). I'm not a big guy and tend to be fairly minimalist when it comes to camping (for example I use a tyvek tarp or poncho tarp), keeping my pack weight down is important to me.
