wind screen

Driver's forward view

A wind screen is a barrier that blocks or reduces wind exposure.

In outdoor settings, wind screens are portable panels used around campsites or patios to create shelter.

In British English, windscreen (one word) is the standard term for a car's front window—what Americans call a windshield.

We set up a wind screen around the cooking area.
