>>2714148Wind was never a problem to me, it may overheat your pipe or make the tobacco burn too fast since it keeps the embers very alive. In case of rain, well if there is enough rain to bother your pipe then maybe it's time to go home. Light rain will not be a problem.
Now about lids, I was thinking about getting one of these cheap ones from Aliexpress/Amazon, but since I discovered rain is not that big of a deal I never bought them.
