Full-size, ultralight

6 oz · 171 g Trekking Umbrella

Say hello to the lightest, full-size trekking umbrella on the market.

Ultralight umbrellas are one of the most underappreciated pieces of gear on the trail. The Rain Walker SUL offers more ventilation and weighs less than most rain gear, and it often keeps you drier.

    Prefect tramping addition

    Just added this to my tramping gear, and it works perfectly. Definitely an essential item, but I’d be careful if I was navigating complex terrain (ie bush), as it needs to be treated carefully to avoid rips or tears. That said, it’s an easy fit to either shoulder strap and provides excellent hands free shade and protection.

    Cant review what I don't have --2+ weeks no product

    I am getting their hopeful "don't you love it!" review requests but I'm still waiting for the umbrella to show up so one star, or no stars, is what I think at the moment.

    Great Umbrella!

    This umbrella will NOT fit in a pocket or purse but what it gives up in length is more than made up in function. Sturdy yet impossibly light with a very comfortable handle. I love it!
