$45.00 from Moosejaw
Made from a superlight 30-denier siliconized Cordura, this umbrella weighs in at a svelte 8.5 ounces and collapses to less than ten inches but still boasts a canopy size of 38 inches. The umbrella top is supported by an aluminum-grade shaft and a comfy rubber handle. It also comes with a mesh tote that you can hook to the back of your pack or a belt.

If you鈥檙e subjecting yourself to serious weather, consider the Blunt, which was built to stand up to 55-mile-per-hour winds, thanks to a tensioning system that helps distribute the force. The canopy offers 40 inches of protection, weighs 12.8 ounces, and closes up to 14 inches. It has a beautiful design if you want something that will look good, too.

$45.00 from Amazon
In countless reviews, this tiny shield has proven itself to be as good as umbrellas twice its price. It truly is an ultralight umbrella, weighing just seven ounces, but still has a nearly 40-inch coverage when open. The coolest feature, though, is that you can attach the umbrella to your backpack, keeping your hands free to use your cell phone or hold your coffee.

$25.00 from Amazon
At 11.5 inches long and 15 ounces, this isn鈥檛 the smallest or lightest umbrella on the list, but it is one of the toughest. Thanks to nine extra ribs made from flexible fiberglass, the Repel can take a beating in a windstorm, and its Teflon coating helps bolster the waterproof abilities of the top fabric.

The Eez-y keeps the rain off, but this umbrella also works as a legit parasol, with a UV-coated canopy that offers UPF 25 sun protection. We also like the vents in the material, which help move wind through the canopy instead of breaking it or folding it in half. It鈥檚 a little on the larger side (with a length of 11 inches and a weight of 15.2 ounces), but reviewers rave about its durability.

The Trail Runner editor-in-chief claims "this is the best sun-hoody for high-output activity I鈥檝e ever tested." Thoughtful details like the zippered key/card pocket, thumb holes, and scuba hood are the cherry on top of the soft, wicking fabric that allows her to enjoy long alpine runs.

It is the lug pattern on these shoes that distinguish them from the rest. Our testers note that it feels like wearing crampons or spikes thanks to the shape, spacing, and sharpness of the lugs themselves. Grab a black pair now and your winter self will thank you in a few months.
