EPEDAL24 Hands-Free Umbrella Holder For Backpack - Lightweight Clip Mount For Hiking, Travel, Keeps Umbrella Secure

About This Product

Hate juggling an umbrella while you're trying to carry groceries, push a stroller, take photos, or just hike with trekking poles? This EPEDAL24 umbrella holder is a genius little gadget that clips onto your backpack's shoulder strap, giving you totally hands-free rain (or sun) protection. It's incredibly lightweight at just over 1 ounce (30g), so you won't even feel it's there.

It works with most backpacks that have padded shoulder straps between 1.2 and 4.7 inches (3-12cm) wide. For the most stable setup, using a backpack with a chest strap is a great idea. It holds umbrellas with poles up to 0.47 inches (12mm) thick – that covers most standard folding umbrellas and many straight-handle ones. (Umbrella not included, of course!).

The clamp system is clever: it uses two contact points plus a screw-down cap to really lock the umbrella pole in place, so it won't slip out while you're walking. Setup is tool-free with a hook-and-loop strap and buckle. Beyond rainy commutes, people use this for hands-free fishing, gardening, filming videos, or even as a flag holder on tours. It's one of those simple, affordable accessories that once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
