    Works as intended

    I haven’t used it on trail yet, but it seems to work as intended.

    Works, but leave the black clips off

    As other reviewers have noted, once you attach the black clips to the ends of the shock cords, you cannot remove them. This means the straps are permanently attached to one backpack. I solved the problem by not using the clips at all and just tying a simple figure 8 knot in each of the ends of the shock cords. Easy to remove, but they keep the shock cord from coming out of the cord lock. Simple and effective! I wonder why the designers didn't come up with either an easy to open clip or just use knots! Guess they never bothered switching packs...

    Why don’t these come already put together??

    This is a small enough item and saves no space to have it come in pieces and no instructions on how to put together. The teal low/green part is easy enough to figure out but that black piece doesn’t go on in any practical way!! Really annoying. I mean we’re paying $10 for something that probably cost 5 cents to manufacture you could at least put it together

    Hello.

    The handsfree kit comes disassembled because the cords need to be wrapped around the backpack strap for it to work properly. Once the cord is around the strap, then you can slide the green and yellow piece over the end like in the picture provided. Once that is done, you will want to flip the back piece around and stick the ends of the cords between the space in the hinging end, and then closing it. Once the black part is closed, it is hard to reopen. Once the cords are on the strap, you will slide the umbrella between the pack straps and green/yellow cord lock, and tighten them around the shaft and handle, keeping one about shoulder height and one around mid chest, around the handle.

    Will be trying gossamer gear’s attachment

    These little doodles didn’t even last a year. I used these umbrella straps once and they broke. I also found them to not be super stable. I found gossamer gear has a more robust umbrella strap and will be trying that out.

    $10 bucks is really steep for this one.

    Not able to hold umbrella in place

    They can’t hold umbrella securely in place while hiking. The kit can’t hold Umbrella upright or steady in place. I have to constantly readjust umbrella or retighten the cords so umbrella doesn’t rest on my head or can stay in place to block the sun. Too bad I didn’t pay extra fee for a free return. I am now using Velcros instead to improve umbrella stability and upright position, but still not ideal. Have some other ideas to try. Definitely won’t recommend this kit. Umbrellas do work well though but can use some change to its handle so it works seamlessly with my future hand free kit.
