ALFROTEYALFROTEY Mini Folding Travel Umbrella - Lightweight, Compact, Pocket-Sized for Backpack & Purse - Ideal for Women & Girls (Pink)

I did tons of research looking for the lightest, smallest, compact umbrella. When your backpacking you are looking for those features in a product especially the lightest. I weighed this as soon as I got it to see if they were telling a fib about the weight. Its true, it was 6.5 oz, IF you take the outer fabric case off. You wont need that anyway. The ball handle covers and conceals the pointy ends very well so those pointy ends dont poke holes in bags in your backpack. With the umbrella closed it fits in the palm of my hand from the tip of my finger to the end of my palm, just under 7 inches long. Truly the perfect backpacking umbrella, and for $10 its way better and lighter than the Heliox hiking umbrella for $80. It is a little hard to open it all the way but if you know that you have to push it up hard till it clicks that becomes a non issue after the first time you open it. The trade off for it being so light is completely worth it. Its not super sturdy but it is sturdy enough to use it for what it is supposed to be used for, so no jumping off cliffs and using it as a parachute! It is also a little small side when fully opened but again for me, thats a non issue ITS LIGHT, and it will cover my shoulders for those light rains. Heavy rains and wind I will pull out the Frog toggs.

A great size umbrella for the glove compartment of my car. It probably wouldn't hold up well in the wind and it's not very big, but should be fine for most purposes. It has a sleeve to cover it but, once you've opened it and used it, it won't go back in the sleeve very well. But, who need the sleeve anyhow?

Love this little umbrella. The quality of material is more than i expected. Perfect size to just let live in the kid’s backpacks.

My daughter loves it, great choice

Compact great colors

Didn’t last a week and half on my Scotland vacation. Maybe used it 5 days in total, the metal is so flimsy any amount of wind is going to break it.

Color and texture are ok
