Six Moon Designs Hands-Free Umbrella Kit: Secures a Travel Umbrella for Rain or Sun Protection to Any Pack. Perfect Accessory. Lightweight for hiking, Weighs 0.35 oz. Travel Hands Free Easily!

Makes hiking in pounding heat and glaring sunlight more tolerable. Seriously, it's 10-15 degrees cooler under this umbrella which is a game-changer when in burning landscapes. I pair it with the Six Moons design carbon fiber reflective umbrella and it's great. The nice thing, too, is that if you're just walking about without a daypack or backpack, the umbrella is so light that it's not a problem to not have these keepers.

All Thru-hikers!!! If u don't have them, u need them!! They work so well, they have been tested in several wind and rain storms, been swapped to a different pack (taken apart and put back together) still work perfectly. They weigh only a few grams and to be hands free with an umbrella while on a hiking or backpacking trip is essential.Megan S. Hiking with a Purpose: gives her full recommendation for these hands free umbrella straps, I have not seen these anywhere in a store ever, and I searched too....

Comes unassembled….this is not a trinket from inside a Crackerjack box. The problem is that even when the directions are followed for assembly (Even had a friend try to make sure the problem wasn’t my IQ), the damn thing still doesn't stay together. Bad design. Only fix was super glue and a clamp (not included). Has same value as big rubber band.

You can get 10 for a fraction of the price.Dont waste your money

if you’re an hltralight hiker staying out of torrid rays or rain, these do the job. Ignore the other reviews. Six moon makes excellent products.

I have some arthritis in my hands, and was rather annoyed I had to assemble the components.

This is a complete rip-off. Does not include the holder shown in the photos. Description says it attaches "to backpack shoulder straps." Does your backpack have built in umbrella holder on the shoulder strap? None of mine do. Only get 2 tiny cords. Zip ties, straps or any number of fasteners could hold it place. Shipping cost was more than 60% of the items cost. It weighs .35 oz. Could have been mailed for 55¢.

Dont bother buying.. its just 2 little bungee cords.
