EuroSchirm says: The world's lightest trekking umbrella of its kind.
Despite its incredible "lightweight" this trekking umbrella is extremely strong and nearly unbreakable. The excellent workmanship of newest materials makes this umbrella outstanding. Lightest weight at highest durability - these were the requirements when developing this unique trekking umbrella.
The sleeve case with shoulder carry strap, net and non-slip fabric is easy to fold and is also very lightweight (3).
Swing liteflex - your constant companion for all weather conditions without additional weight.
Now You can protect yourself against UV rays and heat with the brand new silver metyallic coating. UV protection factor 50+ - TÜV certificate. Choose the 'Silver' option.
EuroSchirm's Swing Liteflex Trekking Umbrellas are built from high quality lightweight materials to provide the user with all the protection an umbrella can offer with minimal additional load. Its still quite robust though and perfect for long backpacking trips where weight is at a premium.
Trekking umbrellas are often under-valued, they provide protection from rain without having to compromise breathability - leaving you dry and comfortable. In hot climates they provide much needed shade and UV protection, which can be enhanced by the silver version of the umbrella. Just about the only time they are a pain to use is in windy conditions.

Surprisingly good
I purchased this in the hope I could be sheltered from rain and sweat less by not bundling up in waterproofs. I was not disappointed. Once I figured out a way to attach it to my rucksack it kept me dry, I was able to open my rain jacket to almost waist level. It kept me and the top of my rucksack dry (I dont use a pack cover). Obviously, in strong wind it's not useable, but in light breezes it's fine once you've mastered the attachment technique -see internet videos
