⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect umbrella!

"I bought this to take on the Camino de Santiago, and it fits in the side pocket of my backpack perfectly, while still being a large-canopied sun/rain protector. I love my full-size one as well, but this compact version will be perfect for my upcoming trip!" - Soon-ok

6.8 oz - 193 g Trekking Sun 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.

Overview

The Silver Shadow Mini is the collapsible, compact umbrella in our line. Packing to 40% the length of our other umbrellas, it is ideal for travel or when space is paramount. 

Wherever you travel, a Silver Shadow should be part of your kit!

Mini Replacement Handle:

Six Moon Designs now comes with the Mini Replacement Handle for free with your Umbrella.  The Replacement handle gives you a more comfortable EVA foam grip to hold onto for longer hikes.  As an added bonus the new handle makes this umbrella work much better with the Hands Free Kit.   If you do not want the added bulk of the EVA replacement handle you can keep on the smaller plastic handle.

Ultra light umbrella

When you carry this umbrella, it’s like carrying a feather. Stands up to rain. Held its own in the wind.

Backpacking Umbrella

Despite the ties to attach it to the backpack, it totally does not work. It hit my head and it flops around. Maybe something was missing to attach it to the backpack besides the two ties. It is worthless for the purpose. I am walking the Camino with lots of sun and I thought this would be an asset. I am leaving it home and regret wasting my money.

Great hiking umbrella

Just received the mini trekking umbrella and I’m impressed with the thoughtful design of it for us hikers. I purchased for my upcoming Camino Francis journey in Sept/ Oct so I expect to use in rain and hot sun. I do agree with other reviews it requires a bit more manual effort to repack but it’s a first world problem I can easily live with! I simply appreciate that Six Moon Designs offers such a clever umbrella option!

Super lightweight but not easy to use

First the positives… This umbrella is exceptionally lightweight, compact, and gives very good coverage. It packed very easily into my carry on bag or personal item.
Now for the not so positives…
1. Using the umbrella is very fiddley. You have to fold the top portion over and pop each of the spokes into their extended position before each use. This all then has to be done in reverse when closing the umbrella, and it takes some time to squeeze it back into its pouch.
2. The “stem” of the umbrella is very thin and the hardware does not seem sturdy.
3. The handle it comes with is pretty useless. It is too small and the design is such that it isn’t comfortable in the hand at all. Based on reviews I read, I went ahead and purchased the alternative handle- not sure why they don’t just offer this one instead. The additional cost seems unnecessary.
My overall sense is that the company rushed the design process.
I bought a regular Six Moon Designs umbrella about 1 1/2 hrs ago and can’t speak more highly of it. The design is awesome- super lightweight and very sturdy. I use it at least 4 times/wk and in windy and bushwhacking conditions and have had zero issues with it.
I hope they keep working on the design for the travel umbrella.
