Do not use in windy conditions... fail
Written on May 26, 2016
Review for
Birdiepal Swing Handsfree Trekking Umbrella
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 ended up tossing it in the garbage. I was disappointed since the manufacturer has numerous videos on how rugged and sturdy it is. Like the umbrella but would recommend that it is not used in windy conditions.
