Helinox Trekking Umbrella

Great umbrella

It broke literally the very first time I opened it... indoors, not out in the wind or anything.

I bought mine entering the 100 mile wilderness of the Appalachian trail. I had typically used rain coats as my rain solution but found them to be too sweaty and hot in the summer heat. this was an awesome solution. I was dry from the waste down. everyone was jealous. It rained for 3 days out of the 4 days I spent hiking to baxter peak from monson. the sides would catch on branches in narrow sections of trail surrouned by dense foliage and the umbrella held up. I wish it was like oval shaped is my only complaint then it would have more effective coverage; its kind of small. I use this umbrella a lot still around town. it has held up very well since I bought it in 2015. I cant believe the 1 star review.
