Why We Like It

At just 14 grams, this is an easy addition to an ultralight cook kit. It offers a practical solution to one of the biggest frustrations of cooking outdoors: wind.

We particularly like the titanium construction, which offers better long-term durability than makeshift aluminum foil alternatives without adding meaningful weight to your pack.

The Tradeoff

The titanium sheet is incredibly thin, which means it can be fiddly to handle and doesn’t offer much structural rigidity. The edges are also sharp, so a little care is needed when setting it up and packing it away.

Most importantly, this windscreen is designed for alcohol, solid-fuel and suitable wood-burning stoves. Do not use it with canister stoves, as trapped heat can cause the fuel canister to overheat and potentially explode.

Who It’s For

Ultralight backpackers using alcohol or solid-fuel cooking systems who want a lightweight, reusable alternative to homemade foil windscreens.

It’s particularly suited to hikers who prioritize minimal pack weight and want to squeeze a little more efficiency out of their cooking setup.

Rikkar Take

At 14 grams, it’s hard to argue with the weight. The TOAKS Titanium Windscreen is a simple piece of kit that does exactly what it’s supposed to do, without introducing unnecessary complexity.

It’s not the most robust piece of gear, and you’ll need to handle it with a little care, but for an ultralight alcohol stove setup, it’s a worthwhile addition.

Sometimes the simplest gear earns its place in your pack.
