Product Information

Our favourite feature was the mesh window: if conditions turn sour, at least you can still enjoy a bit of a view. Whether you're spending your summer camping in the UK or backpacking abroad, we’re sure getting ravaged by insects isn’t on the itinerary. Eye-catching, gorgeously vintage and easy to set up and take down, Olpro does our favourite colourful, cheerful camping windbreaks. With blue and white stripes and wooden poles, you'll get an instant reminder of a sunny beachfront no matter where you are.

Because you can pitch it in a semi-circular shape, a bit like a roof-less yurt, it provides wrap-around protection from bad weather and real warmth. A sturdy windbreak is an absolute essential for late-season camping – they’re so much more than just a flimsy sheet that you bring along to the seaside. Of course, each manufacturer will have different measurements per section, so as well as the number of poles, you should also check the exact length in meters if the size is an essential factor for you. Whether you're after something small and lightweight or a cheap cordless jug with a large capacity, we'll help you pick out the perfect one! In pastel blue or vibrant red, this windbreak fromVolkswagen is perfect for any camping fanatic or VW enthusiast.It’s incredibly easy to set up thanks to the air poles (you’ll need a pump for these), although – at 8m long – it’s a two-person job.

Heavy wind can sometimes knock the windbreak back, but you shouldn't run into too much trouble as long as you secure it with the guy ropes. We've compared the ingredients, nutrients and drainage capacity from popular brands such as Miracle-Gro, Canna Terra and Westland. If you're after a lightweight option for easy transportation, this won't be ideal for you, as it's the heaviest on our list. We’ve also trialled them in gentle summer breezes, and on family trips where speed of set up and take down (for the inevitable rush to the beach on a nice day) is the priority over weather resistance. There's no question of structural integrity, though, since guy ropes are included for securing the poles in place.The windbreak also features a PVC window that allows extra light and visibility while still protecting your privacy. These are robust, dependable and portable; unless you expect to take them anywhere really adventurous, don’t worry about specs like hydrostatic head or denier. Since they're designed to withstand the elements, look out for the best quality construction to ensure you can use your new purchase for years to come. This may seem obvious, but not every product has one, and they can come in handy when transporting and storing the windbreak when it's not in use.
