This product test evokes holiday feelings: we received the NATURIZ® windshield cover to test. The cover is neatly folded and placed in its carrying bag, which is contained in a beautifully designed box. This ensured that the cover arrived undamaged.
The packaging box also features NATURIZ®’s email address and telephone number. This is ideal if you have any questions and need to contact the manufacturer – or if you want to provide feedback.
First impression of the product after opening the packaging
After opening the packaging and evaluating it, we take a closer look at the product’s workmanship. How high-quality are the materials used, and how do the feel and appearance rate?
Weighting: 30% *The maximum score is 100 points
| Evaluation category | Result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Package contents and scope | Complete | 100 |
| Instructions | QR code leads to instructions – a little confusing | 95 |
| Odour | Odour not sensible | 100 |
| Visual appearance | Very high quality – thick fabric, beautiful workmanship | 100 |
| Workmanship | The fabric feels extremely high quality, and the zip is also thick and robustly made | 100 |
| Total | 99,0 |
The package arrived complete: both the practical carrying/storage bag and the cover arrived safely. There was also a card in the bag with a QR code for the instructions on one side and a thank you note with contact information on the other. There is also a QR code on the card for other NATURIZ® products.
There was no odour when unpacking. This suggests that high-quality materials were used, which is also reflected in the look and feel of the fabric. The fabric makes a high-quality impression on both the inside and the back. The fabric is sturdy and heavy – perfect for outdoor holidays. The zip is also sturdy and beautifully finished.
The instructions can be accessed via a QR code that leads to a Drive folder. They are translated into various languages and include illustrations and text. However, some things only became clear during assembly – why do you have to walk around the side of the car to close it? Some passages are a little confusing, as the obvious is mentioned separately, which is rather misleading if, like us, you read through the instructions before assembly.
The practical test
The practical test carries the greatest weight. Here, the product must undergo a variety of criteria and examinations by our independent testers. We test the functions promised by the manufacturer of the item under review.
| Evaluation category | Result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Color & Size | Dimensions and color match perfectly | 100 |
| Assembly | Quick and easy with two people | 100 |
| Fit | Fits our Peugeot Boxer perfectly and hugs it nicely | 100 |
| Water resistance | Provides adequate protection against water and dirt – also darkens the doors pleasantly | 100 |
| Zipper | Robust zipper with practical pull tab | 100 |
| Total | 100,0 |
The NATURIZ® camper windshield cover lived up to the product description – the color and dimensions were spot on.
The whole thing was tested on a Peugeot Boxer, a typical representative of the motorhome and van class. According to the manufacturer, the cover is made precisely for this purpose – and we can only confirm this: it fits like a glove. Without stretching, it fits neatly over the windshield. The cutouts for the side mirrors are precisely crafted and can be easily secured thanks to Velcro fasteners.
The practical stretch bands ensure that the cover remains securely attached to the vehicle even in windy conditions. Simply pull it over the doors and everything is securely fastened as soon as the doors are closed.
The thick material also repels water well: it is dense and reliably keeps water out. At the same time, it provides pleasant darkness inside – ideal for a restful afternoon nap or peaceful nights at the campsite.
The zipper appears sturdy and high-quality. With the attached pull cords, even shorter people can easily open the cover halfway to let in a little light while still being protected from unwanted glances.
To prevent the half-open cover from flapping, it can also be secured with buttons. The integrated magnets on the hood and doors also contribute to stability. However, the magnets on the hood seem to be slightly weaker than those on the sides—we cannot say whether there is a reason for this.
Conclusion: The NATURIZ® windshield cover passed our practical test with flying colors. It looks good, is well designed, and delivers what it promises—thumbs up!
General
Our final evaluation category focuses on the price-performance ratio and the conformity with the online presentation. This category is weighted at 10%.
| Evaluation category | Result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | Good quality, low to medium price range | 95 |
| Consistency with online presentation | No images available | – |
| Total | 95 |
The NATURIZ® windscreen cover for Fiat Ducato, Citroen Jumper, and Peugeot Boxer camper is reasonably priced. A few isolated products that are cheaper to find either do not have a zipper or cover the entire front, but are significantly cheaper. However, most other windscreen covers are more expensive to purchase, especially comparable products.
At the time of testing, our test product was not yet listed live, which is why no online presentation is available and we are therefore unable to include this service in our evaluation.
