## Description

8.9 oz - 252 g Trekking Sun Umbrella Redesigned for 2019 we have expanded the Silver Shadow into a line of umbrellas in order to offer a variety of options and prices. Walking across deserts in the blazing sun or through summer rain showers shouldn't be a misery. The Silver Shadow Seriesprovides a large reflective surface on top to deflect sunlight and a black underside to absorb wandering rays, allowing you to walk cooler and better protected. Its coating sheds water easily, eliminating the need to wear sweaty rain gear. Description The base Silver Shadowmost resembles our original design. Its rigid, fiberglass shaft insures that it won't unexpectedly collapse, and its simple construction ensures years of trouble free use. The simple design with minimal parts keeps it light and durable. There's simply fewer things to break or malfunction. Wherever you travel, a Silver Shadowshould be part of your kit! Features Weight: 8.9 oz - 252 g Closed Length: 25" - 63.5cm Open Width: 37" - 94 cm Coverage: 7.5 ft 2or .7 m 2 Shaft Length: 23.5" - 60cm Fiberglass Frame EVA foam handle for sure grip UPF 50+ Rating

Review: Must have for field bio - Works very well to keep the sun off you when walking around doing survey work in the desert. Somewhat like having a cloud above you for shade. Does not double fold collapse, which is unfortunate for packability, but probably also means higher durability. I'm usually wearing a backpack, so if I need to pack it away for a few minutes I'll just collapse it, and stick it horizontally behind my back where the bottom straps of the backpack will catch it. Not the most comfortable long term, but for a light pack and a short duration, works fine for me. I chose this size as a compromise between coverage, wind resistance, and weight. Some days a larger one would absolutely be nicer... but it would become unmanageable at wind speeds where this is totally fine... So to each their own.
Review: Game Changer!!! - I gave this 5 stars because there was no option to give it 6! This parasol ROCKS!!! It's an absolute game changer!!! Light weight and very effective! I'm section hiking the PCT and started section F (edge of the Mojave Desert) on July 1. It would've been impossible without the shade this umbrella provided. I got lucky with low winds. If it's very windy, it's not really viable. But then the "wind chill" helps keep you cooler. I would recommend "tightening" velcro straps on at least 3 points of your shoulder straps to secure it. If you can do that, and the winds are not strong, you will absolutely LOVE this parasol!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding sun umbrella.
*by D***S on November 17, 2023*

Small, light weight, and big enough to do the job. These reflective umbrellas are outstanding for backpacking and overlanding. I've used this in blistering desert heat. Easily drops felt temps by a good 20-30F and keeps me out of the sun. Love it.
