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.
