G4Free Travel Umbrella Compact Ultralight UPF 50+ UV Carbon Fiber Super Slim Small Mini Protection Umbrella

I bought two of these umbrellas for a trip to Italy as I very well knew that traveling during the summertime with the Scorching heat It would be unbearable specially with long lines at the tourist attractions. This umbrella was a lifesaver because for one thing it was so light and compact that it easily fit into my sling bag. The second day in Rome was hot and in mid 90s and bringing up the umbrella in the middle of the day with high temperatures would bring down the temperature to less than 5°(when standing under the umbrella). That made so much of difference and helped carry on the day without feelings hot. We used it several times during our trip and also used it one time when it rained in Florence. But of course you need to be careful if it’s windy and you don’t want to use it otherwise the umbrella would flip. I mostly bought it for her protecting myself and the family from the sun and of course, the unexpected rain and It worked. I definitely recommend.

I brought back from a trip to Japan an ultra-light weight umbrella weighing under 100 grams and wanted another one to give to my mom. This one was the lightest I could find here, still ultra light at 120 grams and slightly larger and sturdier (relatively speaking - not a match for heavier umbrellas). It's been great so far; you can really take if anywhere as it is so small and light, just put it in your bag or backpack and forget it's there. Sure it's a bit flimsier than other mini-umbrellas that usually weigh three times as much, but it's perfectly usable and you wouldn't carry those other umbrellas around with you all the time and hence not have an umbrella when you need one.

This one is great for traveling! Fits in any bag!Light and small, very practical!

This little is lightweight, fits easily in a purse or backpack and it does help with the heat of the sun. It doesn't stand up to much wind but what can you expect? The shaft is short which makes it difficult to attach to a backpack with enough clearance to provide air movement.I primarily use it for hiking in Arizona. It provides instant shade or a bit of privacy when needed.

I purchased two for a hike for me and my son. I loved how light and compact this was ~ for great in our pack. I used one time for a few minutes on the trail bc it was exposed and temps were heating up. The wind blew and flipped the umbrella inside out. I messed with it for a few more minutes and i never could get it worked out. Super disappointed. The temps were 100 degrees plus and I ended up getting overheated. I was able to return one unused but our trip was a few days outside the return window…if the company would still be willing to send a refund I’d appreciate it.

I can't believe I found this ultra-lightweight mini umbrella on Amazon! I've purchased several umbrellas that were advertised as 'lightweight,' but they all turned out to be too heavy for me. However, this one is truly as lightweight as it claims—just 4 oz! I'm ordering a second one, just in case this amazing item gets discontinued on Amazon in the future.

I used this on a trip to Southern Asia; temps often reach 100° and the sun is intense. The good news is that it is very light so easy to carry while out all day. Bad news - very cheap materials and/or cheaply made. Even a light wind necessitates closing the umbrella immediately or it will start to flip inside out.

I bought this as an ultralight sun umbrella. It is easily the lightest umbrella I have ever had. With the light weight, you can't expect it to be robust in storms. I got the silver color to reflect the sun. The fabric is opaque unlike normal umbrellas. To save weight there is a small disk instead of a handle. You don't hold the disk, but the shaft above the disk. As advertised, the ribs are aluminum and carbon fiber. The aluminum ribs are near the hub, and the carbon fiber are on the edges. Looking at the ribs they do look like carbon fiber and not fiberglass. If you are looking for a ultralight sun umbrella, or an ultralight umbrella for emergencies, this is a good choice. I would not use it as a daily rain umbrella. I don't think it will do well in wind.

This is the lightest umbrella I have ever owned.One issue it did turn inside out in the wind the first time I used it, but this did not harm the umbrella in anyway, it is very durable.Another time I would order it in black as the silver showed creases.Great for travel, or carrying daily.

Habe ihn für Städteausflug in der Urlaubshitze bestellt. Superleicht und schützt. Könnte wohl auch als Regenschirm genutzt werden (da habe ich aber noch keine Erfahrung damit gemacht), also zwei in einem. Gibt nichts zu meckern.

Excellence compact folding umbrella in lightweight, which is durable
