Quest Windshield Pro costs more than twice the price of many other modern windbreaks on test, at £104.99. So does that mean that it is twice as good?

To find out, we took a tow car full of windbreaks from our test bench to the camping field and put them up. We tested the subtle green £49.99 Coleman Windshield XL with its full-length window, we set up the sky blue and white striped £29.99 Olpro Picket Fence Windbreak, then we tried the sleek grey £24.99 Gelert Breeze Blocker, with its strange set of windows, which are at eye-level when you’re seated round the dining table. We also checked out the blue, clear and white £39.99 Kampa Break, the black-framed £69.99 Outwell Round Windscreen windbreak and the yellow and orange striped banana-shaped £19.99 Easy Camp Surf.

Quest Leisure is a brand associated with a range of outdoor equipment, such as caravan and motorhome awnings, the type of hard-top fabric camping larders you can hang from a tent or awning, similar canvas wardrobes, folding camping chairs, gazebos and instant shelters. You can watch many YouTube videos to see how to put up Quest Leisure’s camping gear in the fastest possible time. The firm sells more traditional windbreaks as well, such as the four- five- or six-pole Multicoloured Polythene Windbreak with wooden poles. This tried-and-tested colourful striped design is probably the type of screen that most people imagine when they hear the word ‘windbreak’. 

Slightly more upmarket is the Quest Family Windbreak, available with either five or seven wooden poles with metal spikes and end caps. 

Most upmarket of all, however, is the Quest Windshield Pro that we have tested and can now review here. It is the most expensive windbreak in our test selection but it is also the most stable and innovative. Tubular buttresses connect to the top of each pole and are held down by ground plates, which replace guy ropes.

The benefits of the frame construction are: no lines on your side of the windbreak and, coupled with crossbars, unparalleled stability. Each end of the 4.8m model will slide into a figure-of-eight awning strip, allowing easy connection to your caravan and awning.

You can also join it up to a second matching windbreak, or the extra panels that Quest Leisure sells separately, so that you can get the exact length you need to enclose your  caravan entrance, or create a pet enclosure or surround your outdoor dining table to stop your dinner blowing away.

This is a stylish windbreak that would enhance any caravan or motorhome, and you could also take it to the beach to stop the wind blowing sand into your sandwiches and ice-creams for unwanted extra crunch! It’s versatile and easy to put up.
