6.8 oz - 193 g Trekking Umbrella
Walking across deserts in the blazing sun or through summer rain showers shouldn't be a misery.
The Silver Shadow Series provides 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.
Redesigned for 2019 we have expanded the Silver Shadow into a line of umbrellas that offers a variety of options and prices.
Overview
The Silver Shadow Carbon is the crown jewel of hiking umbrellas. A sleek, carbon fiber shaft, spreader, and ribs drop the weight of this umbrella to a mere 6.8 oz while maintaining full coverage. Its rigid 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 are simply fewer things to break or malfunction.
Wherever you travel, a Silver Shadow should be part of your kit!

- PPaulRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoGreat High Altitude Sun Protection
I fixed the umbrella to my pack shoulder strap with a couple velcro straps. The umbrella is great for protection from hail, rain and intense sunshine. I backpacked the Uinta Highline Trail in seven days with this umbrella.

I have had my umbrella for a few weeks now and I have loved using it. I am a dog walker and it’s been incredibly helpful in managing temperatures while out walking in the heat of the day. I also recently (today) got stranded in the airport during the Outage and it came incredibly in handy for shielding me from the bright lights while I attempted to sleep on airport chairs! It’s so lightweight and the perfect size for a carryon, I’ll be hard pressed to leave it home when I travel again!
- JLJulie L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoLove these umbrellas!
I had to replace my old one right before a trip b/c I broke it. This new one is lighter and they are so nice for hiking in the sun. I always take it on all my trips. On this last trip we had a campsite in the sun and we tied 3 of these together to make a big shady area. We used them everyday while hiking, they drop the temp by at least 10 degrees. I rigged up a hands free system so I can still use my trekking poles. The only thing to be careful of is gusts of wind, have to face into the wind or grab the front of it. But overall I consider this an indispensable piece of gear, esp for warmer temps!!
- ETEdgar T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoProven protection
I’ve used my personal Silver Shadow Carbon Trekking Umbrella on the CT in wind and rain and under hot July suns. It’s proven it’s worth there and on local hikes. I’ve given two others as gifts and their new owners love them. My umbrella is a standard part of my kit these days.
- EVElizabeth V.Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoWorks great in the sun. Light as a feather.
It’s so light that a friend was able to hold it without my hands free option the whole time trudging up a hot and very steep 3mile Southern California trail. She is going to buy one too and so are several people who saw us on the trail. We like the fact that we don’t have to wear hot and sweaty hats. Here’s a pic of my husband who ordered one too.
