The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Swing Hands Free from the German brand EuroSchirm, is an umbrella that attaches to your backpack allowing you to relieve your arms, read a map or use your walking sticks while being protected from rain.
With a diameter of 114 centimeters, it will keep you dry and protect your backpack or baby carrier. Depending on the wind direction, it can be attached to the right or left shoulder straps of your backpack. The two rotating clips attach to the shoulder strap and belt and encourage optimal orientation of the umbrella. It can be adapted to any body shape thanks to its steplessly extendable fiberglass shaft.
For better control or when traveling without a backpack, you can use this umbrella in the traditional way with the soft touch polymer foam handle.
The Swing Hands Free weighs only 366 grams and meets the technical needs of hikers. The lightweight, tear-resistant Teflon-coated polyester fabric will be particularly durable over time and resistant to abrasion. Its fiberglass frame is rustproof and its flexibility will make the umbrella difficult to break. Reflectors have been installed at the ends of all ribs for better night visibility.
For the Silver version, the canvas is equipped with a UV protection of index 50+.
