Description
A dedicated windscreen for the VAR 2 canister stove, weighing 103 g, built to cut fuel consumption and boil time when wind is stealing heat from the flame — canister stoves lose efficiency fast in any breeze since the flame is unshielded by design. Flip it over and it works as a stand that stabilises the gas canister on uneven ground.
This is a stove-specific accessory rather than a universal windscreen, so check fit against your VAR 2 before assuming it will wrap other canister stoves. On a calm, sheltered pitch it adds weight for little benefit; it earns its place on exposed ridges or open alpine terrain where wind is a given.
