Six Moon Designs Silver Shadow Carbon Umbrella

All good - Umbrella helping me beat the heat already

Sun umbrella fan for the hot parts of the day. This replaced my last one that made it on 3 thru hikes of the PCT - hoping this new one lasts as well.

Works great!

I initially laughed about this umbrella, thinking "seriously, who would want to carry this?". Well, it turns out it is super light, and when hiking above 80's, with no wind or clouds or shade anywhere, having your "own shade" is a game changer. I highly recommend it if hiking in high heat bothers you.
