Abstract: A jacket for receiving a cigarette lighter has a sliding windscreen which can be slid up from the jacket when the lighter is lit, to shield the lighter flame from the wind. The top of the windscreen has a chimney hole for venting the lighter flame. A cap made of a heat-resistant material is mounted on the top of the windscreen and snap-fit into the chimney hole, to provide an insulating effect so that the finger is not burned when pushing the windscreen down into the jacket after the lighter has been used, and to provide improved finger purchase and feel when pushing down the windscreen. Alternatively, the windscreen is topless and has an outwardly directed peripheral flange for finger purchase with low heat transfer to the finger.
