Product Info for Birdiepal Swing Handsfree Trekking Umbrella

The highlight of the Birdie Pal Swing Handsfree Trekking Umbrella is its telescopic fiberglass shaft that extends up to one meter in length and can be fixed at any height by a small twisting movement. By means of two accompanying turnable clips, the umbrella can be fastened to the two carrying belts of the backpack. It can be positioned to the right or the left according to the direction of the wind. Without doubt, its greatest advantage is that hands stay completely free, free for trekking poles, free to change a lens, free to work the GPS or look at your map. It is also extremely useful as a protection from rain or sun for small kids riding on their parents´s backs in a carrying seat. Of course it can also be used as a completely ordinary trekking umbrella. A comfortable velvety handle of touch-friendly high density EVA hard foam offers the highest possible carrying comfort. With a dome diameter of 45 in / 114 cm it is large enough in any case to protect both hiker and backpack from the rain. The choice of material and workmanship of this trekking umbrella will easily stand up to your rugged expeditions. A particularly lightweight and highly tear-resistant Polyester fabric with Teflon coating is used for the canopy. The entire umbrella frame consists of elastic and extremely break-proof fiberglass material. The frame is nearly completely metal-free and thereby corrosion-proof.image

I've trekked hundreds of kilometres in rain with an umbrella and backpack. The Euroschirm/Birdpal is a very well engineered umbrella with the added benefit of hands free attachment to your backpack straps as a sun parasol or rain protection. If the upper clip is attached at shoulder level it offers good protection from high angle sun, or rain. If the rain is being driven by win...

In blazing heat of california summer and relentless rain of pacific northwest winter this umbrella does what it needs to; protect me and my gear. It's a light and beautiful piece of machinery, well worth the money. Bought it on the recommendation of a superlight PCT hiker and haven't looked back.

Nicely made item. Needs to be attached to the straps of a backpack. Seems to work well, but not sure yet about how it'll hold up in windy conditions. I intend to use it for street photography in rainy weather. I think it'll be very useful this winter.

Used this recently on the Camino de Santiago as I hate sweaty ponchos and rain gear the wets out. Love the telescopic feature and length to attach on my pack. Unfortunately it is not sturdy enough for windy conditions as a gust of wind flipped the dome inside out and the welds in the frame snapped and rendered the umbrella useless. I tried to fix with tape but to no avail and e...

This is the worst product ever. I bought one for me and my girlfriend and we were not able to hold hands like they do in the video because our umbrellas kept on banging together!! Also other activities involving close proximity (use your imagination) are not possible with this. The good news is that when I had to make number two in the woods this product really helped to keep t...
