From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. MSR WindPro Stove (Spring 2008) If wind is your worry, but you prefer canisters over liquid fuel, then the WindPro stove by MSR is for you. The Wind Pro worked better in wind tests than all the competitors, and it is the only remote canister stove sold complete with a windscreen and heat reflector.Specifications: Trail Weight: 6.8 oz (193 g) Packed Weight: 10.5 oz (298 g)Features: Lightest remote canister stove on the market: Minimum weight is less than 7 oz.! Compact: Small enough to fit in a one-liter pot. Great for gourmet cooking: Supports large cook pots and can be used with bake ovens."

From Backcountry.com:
"The MSR WindPro Stove's wide flame brings your meals from a simmer to a boil even as the chilly night wind rages. Ideal for larger cookware, the lightweight WindPro Stove lets you prepare more involved meals whether you have company or are just fueling up for a day-long summit push. MSR included a windscreen and heat reflector, and the WindPro Stove fits into a one-liter MSR pot for compact traveling. *Fuel and fuel bottles sold separately."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Widely considered the best remote-canister stove, the MSR WindPro is a favorite of many seasoned backpackers and climbers. Although white gas stoves with remote fuel bottles remain popular, more and more campers are catching-on to the advantages of isopropane canister fuel. The WindPro is designed for use with isopropane, which is attractive to campers because it doesn't require priming and provides heat output similar to white gas. And working in tandem with this camping stove, isopropane fuel offers precise flame adjustment. The stove itself is the lightest remote-canister stove on the market, weighing just 6.8 ounces. The WindPro is the only remote-canister stove sold with a windscreen and heat reflector and wind tests show that it performs better than the competition's remote-canister offerings. One eight-ounce MSR IsoPro fuel canister brings approximately 15 liters of water to a boil from a starting temperature of 21 C."

"I like this stove a lot for a few reasons; here goes. It easily breaks down for storage and cleaning. I've used this stove in the late fall about 30 degree weather and it lights right up. Also had the opportunity to use it in the rain and had no problem starting it."

"If you are looking for a lightweight, easy to use, compact stove to use in windy conditions look no further. This stove is all you will ever need. The best feature of this little flame thrower is the "sturdy-ness" factor it brings to the camp kitchen."

"I've used the stove through our Australian winter with temps down to -5ºC (in the vestibule). It has always been a great, and never had a thought of it failing. The three legs offer great stability, especially when having a large pot (suitable for 3) being supported."

"Awesome stove that stands up to its reviews! It's small, lightweight, and with the accessories like reflective bottom foil and wind guard foil, it all packs nicely inside its pouch and stows inside my MSR mess kit pots. The fuel cans are small, and in my humble opinion, last quite a long time."

"Seriously, I argued with my girl that I would break this thing within one outing, but I should know that I should just listen to her and shutup. One of the best stoves ever. Quick to light and one seriously hot flame for as fuel effecient as it is."

"Wow, it took some serious wind up here in middle and north Alaska. I bought it for a light, consistent stove. That it is! I've set it up on top of some windy domes and cooked great. It also made a great trip to the Brooks Range. It used less fuel than MSR and a salesman calculated."

"You almost don't need the windscreen with this stove. I used this stove on South Bass Island, Ohio, next to Lake Erie with a nice breeze blowing off the lake and was able to cook a small pot of stew with no windscreen!

This little beauty is small but can really put out a roaring flame and cook your food quickly! This stove is well worth the money!"
