When folded, the high quality folding umbrella excels by its compact size so that it can be transported comfortably in a bag or a backpack. Alternatively, the light trek ultra can be fastened with a carabiner to the outside of a backpack or bag thus it will be immediately within reach for the next rain.

The silver UV-light protective coating is especially recommended for the protection against sun and heat. It is almost completely resistant against harmful UV-radiation and offers a TÜV certified light protection factor of UPF 50+ (Australia/New Zealand Standard). In addition, the silver-metallic-coating reflects the heat very efficiently so that it is considerably cooler under the umbrellas with silver UPF 50+ coating than under umbrellas with a normal canopy.
