Osprey Gold Dome Ultralight Umbrella

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Gossamer Gears Gold Dome Ultralight Umbrella is perfect for sun protection as it’s reflective gold on the outside and opaque Black on the inside surface, perfect for giving some shade. Although ultralight, it still has a reasonable diameter of 95cm.

Gossamer Gear says: 

Designed to protect you from both the sun and the rain, this umbrella is an ultralight solution to any weather condition. The Gold Dome Umbrella is an alternative option to its Chrome counterpart, now featuring a carbon fiber shaft and EVA foam handle.

Our Verdict

Umbrellas definitely have their place in the trekking world; they are the most breathable of all waterproofs keeping you dry and comfortable; they are not so useful when the rain is horizontal or it’s very windy, however. Also useful as sun protection, when high altitude trekking, it can sometimes be virtually impossible to find shade, which is where a decent umbrella comes into its own.
