Want the most breathable, lightweight waterproof solution around? You got it – Snow Peak’s ultralight umbrella weighs in at just 134 g but provides ample protection from showers for you and your pack, without requiring you to stop and put on a sweaty waterproof jacket or poncho. We’re only kinda joking –many dedicated ultralighters have seen the merits of carrying an umbrella on the trail. And Snow Peak’s design is engineered to collapse under heavy wind gusts to prevent permanent damage. Of course, this umbrella’s low weight and compact packed size also make it an ideal everyday option for slipping into a backpack or even a handbag, to ensure you’ve always got rain protection on your daily commute or weekend walks
Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
