EuroSCHIRM Light Trek Ultra review

The EuroSCHIRM Light Trek Ultra is the lightest umbrella here at 6.72 oz, which matters if you count every ounce in a backpack. EuroSCHIRM USA lists 6 ribs of aluminum and real carbon, a 3-section anodized aluminum shaft, a 44 in canopy with a 38 in open width, and a 10.75 in closed length. The polyester fabric is Teflon-treated and the panels are double stitched so the canopy does not tear away from the frame. It opens with a push/pull runner meant to avoid pinched fingers, the tips are kept short, and the EVA foam handle has a wrist loop. A foldable case with a carabiner lets you hang it from a pack strap or belt. It is manual only, so you need two hands, and the $44.99 price is a sale against a $58.99 regular price at EuroSCHIRM USA. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the umbrella.
