The Portuguese Lizard Camo Windshield Sun Shade offers an effective and visually distinctive way to shield your vehicle’s interior from the damaging effects of sun exposure. Featuring a pattern originally developed for use in Mediterranean and subtropical climates, this sun shade combines thermal protection with a heritage-rich camouflage design that stands out in urban, rural, or off-road settings.
Constructed with a two-layer system, the sun-facing side displays the classic Portuguese Lizard camouflage—recognized for its alternating horizontal stripes and olive-based coloration—while the interior-facing side incorporates a reflective aluminized film cushion that helps reduce heat transfer. This combination helps protect your dashboard, seats, and steering wheel from fading, cracking, and heat distortion caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
The sun shade is designed for quick deployment and removal, aided by the included suction cups for secure placement on most standard windshields. It folds down easily for compact storage when not in use, making it convenient to keep in the glove compartment or under a seat. Whether you’re driving through hot climates, storing your vehicle outdoors, or simply looking to enhance your cabin with a distinct military aesthetic, the Portuguese Lizard Camouflage Windshield Sun Shade offers a practical and visually cohesive solution.

The Portuguese Lizard Camouflage (M1964 or m64) was developed in the 1960s for Portugal’s decolonization wars, particularly in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. Designed for superior concealment in dense jungle and savanna environments, it features vertical dark green and brown stripes on a light green background, optimizing its effectiveness in wooded and tropical terrains. Inspired by the French TAP47 and TAP56 Lizard camouflages, the Portuguese variant was adapted to suit the combat needs of elite units such as paratroopers, commandos, and special forces.
Unlike its French predecessor, which had a more horizontal orientation, the vertical alignment of the Portuguese Lizard pattern was intended to reduce visibility when soldiers were moving upright through jungle foliage. The pattern continues to be used today by the Portuguese Marines (Fuzileiros) and remains one of the longest-serving camouflage designs in military history.
