Durable, ultralight personal protection no matter the climate calamity. Built to our standards and worthy of our badge of approval.
Regardless of what camp you fall into, "It's the HEAT!" "No, It's the HUMIDITY!", there's no denying that relief from the direct rays of the sun is always a welcome, if not life-saving, treat. Same goes for a bit of help staying dry in wet, cooler environments where the risk of hypothermia increases the more saturated you get.
So, with your safety and madness-prevention in mind, we searched for a portable canopy worthy of the title, Essential Backpacking Umbrella. Built for us to the highest standards, It checks all your boxes regarding weight, protection, and strength in high winds. More and more, on just about any trail, you'll see that experienced backpackers have made umbrellas an indispensable part of their kits. We think ours will more than earn its place in yours.
It’s very sturdy, lightweight, and easy to tie to the backpack trap to freeze your hands for poles. Ty very much.
This is a badass umbrella.
It’s spooky light, freakishly, sturdy, and literally can serve as a multi-function micro-shelter across a wide variety of situations. Mine lives in my truck so that I have easy access to it for Shade in the summer and cover from rain (rare lately in Central Texas it seems) and wind when it’s cold. I carry it when I mountain bike in the summer so that I can have Shade when I take a break. I’ve carried it backpacking too. Love It.
This is a bad *** umbrella.
This maybe the last umbrella that I will ever have to replace. Most umbrellas fail due to poorly designed vent panels. The vent panels on your umbrella look like they will survive just about anything mother nature can dish out. In addition to that, the carbon fiber stays make this umbrella ridiculously strong and lightweight.
Here's to the best umbrella on the planet! Thanks to Hyperlite Mountain Gear for making it possible.

Worth the wait! Great quality and light!
Have my Hypelite umbrella stashed in a Ponds Edge bag secured to trekking pole. Drops 7oz off back. Makes umbrella very accessible. Can use tie downs to swap other pole while using umbrella, and can strap open umbrella onto pole for a mini “ beach umbrella set up for stops. Negligible chance in swing of pole while in use. Now really no reason not to carry a seeet Hyperlite umbrella on you thru hike!
