Gossamer Gear Lightrek Hiking Chrome Umbrella

Product detailed description

The Lightrek Hiking Chrome Umbrella from the ultralight wizards at Gossamer Gear weighing just 179 grams is an incredibly durable and sturdy umbrella for its weight. However, its features hold their own even against competitors in weight classes several tiers higher. 

The umbrella shaft is made of aluminum, the handle of lightweight and comfortable foam, and the canopy of polyester fabric with a coating for high resistance to water and dirt. Combined with a silver coating on the canopy, which also reflects heat (according to the manufacturer, it reduces the perceived temperature when in the sun by up to 9 °C), it provides a UPC 50+ protection factor. This offers completely sufficient protection, blocking 97.5 to 98+ % of UV radiation. 

The umbrella is truly sturdy. Despite its light weight, it is very durable and will withstand even rough handling during your adventures.   

Using clips, you can conveniently attach the umbrella to the shoulder strap of not only Gossamer Gear backpacks, keeping your hands free while walking.

This is a great companion that protects you from sun and rain and weighs almost nothing :)
