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.

These things are life savers!

We did a 13 mile hike with a 95 degree heat index and these sunbrellas made a huge difference. Bring your own shade!

Co workers jelly!

Perfect for survey work in desert southwest. Not too sure about the clip, it's a bit fiddly and I rarely use it. Never tried it in the rain, but a great sunbrella.

Umbrella

Sun or rain, it's great. A little concerned about the metal tip in storms but I'm still here. Get one.

Loved them on the Camino de Santiago

The umbrella attached perfectly to the Outdoor Vitals Skyline 30 liter day pack. We need replacements for the tips and we are missing the clip to help secure it to a backpack strap.
