Umbrellas so lightweight, they’re not actually a luxury item. The Silver Shadow Aluminum comes in at a stealthy 8.9 oz and the Rain Walker SUL is an unbelievable 5.5 oz. Don’t let the lightweight design fool you, these umbrellas are strong enough to withstand the trials of the trail. Nothing gives you quite a mood lift on rainy days like carrying a little piece of shelter with you.
