It was great at blocking the sun and flexible in the wind. I used it for hours in a rain storm yesterday and it was so light I barely noticed I was holding it that long. I plan to bring this umbrella everywhere.

Take cover from brutal sun and intense downpours with our Lotus Ultralight Umbrella. We worked hard to develop the world's lightest backpacking umbrella. Our unique Lotus frame allows the umbrella to flex in the wind without breaking, which is common with other ultralight umbrellas that feature single-strut designs.

Weighing in at just 6.8 ounces it is perfect for beating the heat or helping you stay dry in a storm while still being durable enough to stand up to the abuse of a thru-hike. This umbrella will have your back rain or shine!

Add our Umbrella Holster for hands free use and our Umbrella Stuff Sack for storage.

Alexander ★★★★★

The wind was gusting pretty hard on my hike, but this umbrella handled it without flipping inside out, which surprised me. I especially appreciated how light it was—my arm didn't get tired even after carrying it for a couple of miles in a downpour. Perfect for keeping the rain off while staying pack

Sophia I. ★★★★★

After three hours of steady hiking through sun and then a sudden downpour, I never once had to adjust my grip or switch arms. It's genuinely featherlight, and the way it flexed under those wind gusts instead of snapping was reassuring. This thing is going on every trip with me now.

Jacob ★★★★★

The rain came down hard for hours and this thing just shrugged it off, barely any arm fatigue even after carrying it the whole time. It handled the gusts beautifully too, never once threatening to flip inside out.
