ESSENTIAL PROTECTION FROM MOST COMMON THINGS THAT COME OUT OF THE SKY
Regardless of what camp you fall into, "It's the HEAT!" "No, It's the HUMIDITY!", there's no denying that relief from the direct rays of the sun is always a welcome, if not life-saving, treat. Same goes for a bit of help staying dry in wet, cooler environments where the risk of hypothermia increases the more saturated you get.
So, with your safety and madness-prevention in mind, we offer The Essential Backpacking Umbrella. It checks all your boxes regarding weight, protection, and strength in high winds. More and more, on just about any trail, you'll see that experienced backpackers have made umbrellas an indispensable part of their kits. We think ours will more than earn its place in yours.

Light and Packable
Super light, obviously! But also compact enough to be carried in/on your day pack for use when needed. No longer than most trekking poles…this is a must have for very hot climates where shade can be hard to come by!

Perfect Sunbrella Rain or Shine
The vents on this Essential Umbrella overlap enough that they won't leak but provide an escape for wind. I have rigged it so I can hike with it hands free. I rarely hike without my umbrella now as it is so effective, rain or shine.

Product Reviews and Questions
Got my 8 year old up Half Dome in the summer
On a day of over 100 freedom degrees in full sun, I was able to get my 8 year old son up Half Dome in Yosemite thanks to this umbrella.
No amount of sunblock would have made this fully-exposed, high altitude hike bearable. It's remarkable how different the environment feels under this thing.
Back in the valley they called him The Half Dome Dude.
The Essential Umbrella is hence-forth essential for all my summer excursions.

Awesome!
As light as I need without loosing maximum coverage. I’ve used it on a few sunny hikes that have no shade and it’s a game changer for the blaring sun
The piece of gear you didn’t know you needed
Hiking in the rain all day is very demoralizing but having an umbrella makes a world of a difference. The Hyperlite umbrella is super light and when deployed it covers a wide area keeping you and your pack dry. The umbrella material sheds water and dries very well and it is easy to deploy and stow away. Don’t question yourself, just get it!
Gives welcome respite from sun
Recently, took my Essential Umbrella trekking in Nepal. It turned out to be one of my better decisions given the heat at that time. Being able to get some shade on the trail was worth many times the cost of the umbrella.
Super light weight
This is going to payoff, I know it. Thanks.
