EuroSCHIRM Swing Handsfree, Adjustable Height Trekking Umbrella, Light Weight, 44” wide, (Olive Green)

The highlight of this special umbrella is its telescope fiber glass shaft which is extendable up to 3 feet in length and can be fixed at any height by a small twisting movement. The umbrella can be easily fastened to any standard backpack with hip belt and directed against the direction where the wind and the rain come from. Both hands remain completely free making it ideal for hikers who do not want to go without trekking poles. It is also a perfect for photographers, for working the GPS, or any other time you need both hands free. It is also great as a protection against rain or sun for small kids riding on their parents´ backs in a carrying seat. The Swing Handsfree umbrella comes with two turntable clips with Velcro strips for attaching to the shoulder straps and belt of the backpack. The umbrella can be positioned to the right or the left according to the direction of the wind and the rain. The elastic carrying loop at the umbrella handle serves as flexible fastening to the hip belt. Alternatively, the umbrella can be also attached on the carrier-belt-system produced by EuroSCHIRM when walking without a pack (sold separately).
