So…does anyone make a titanium version of the Optimus Clip-on Windshield? (At an outrageous price of course)

Dec 25, 2018 at 2:00 am #3570018look to me that you would need a few types to accommodate the different stove designs

Lightweight, hard anodized aluminium clip-on windshield for use with canister mounted stoves. Increases stove efficiency and substantially reduces gas consumption.
Fits every gas canister according to EN417 and pots with max. diameter 11 cm (4.3 in). Compatible with standard pots and high profile heat exchange pots. Easy packability (fits around the Optimus Terra Weekend HE pot).
Looks like it attaches to the canister
Dec 25, 2018 at 3:22 am #3570030Yes it does and that is why the height and or width of the stove would make a difference.
For example in the photo posted above it should be obvious that any medium to large pot will not fit.
See the 11 cm limit.

That is correct, it was obvious that it said:
and pots with max. diameter 11 cm (4.3 in).
The same dimension would apply to the stove.

Dec 26, 2018 at 1:20 am #3570080The one on AliExpress is wider at about 13cm (5.1″) so it will take more pots . However I would not put a pot inside there that has less than a cm or so gap all around.
