Why We Like It
An umbrella is much more useful when you don’t have to hold it all day. This clamp turns a lightweight hiking umbrella into a more practical hands-free shelter, leaving your hands available for trekking poles, scrambling, navigation, or simply moving naturally along the trail.
The Tradeoff
The clamp adds another small piece of hardware to your pack and works best when the umbrella is positioned and secured correctly. It also doesn’t make an umbrella a good choice for every condition—strong wind and rough terrain can still make hand-held or hands-free umbrella use awkward.
Rikkar Take
A worthwhile add-on if you’re already committed to hiking with an umbrella. At just 0.54 ounces, the weight penalty is minimal, and the ability to keep both hands free makes an umbrella much easier to live with on long hiking days.
