In backyard tests in light winds this windscreen reduced the amount of fuel needed to boil a cold half liter of water from 15 grams to 13 grams. Not enough savings for the weight of the item in my pack.

you bought this screen for the wrong reason if you can only justify carrying it based on the amount of fuel saved in "light (read...non-measured) winds" while boiling one pot of water! Leave the stove at home if that's all the cooking you'll be doing anyway! If you winter camp, use your stove in anything other than "light winds", and for anything other than boiling one pot of water, this windscreen is well worth it's weight...if you disagree, than you're too much of a weight weenie to be using canister stoves anyway.
