Have just sourced what looks like 2 great umbrella/ sunshades (teleScope and Swing) which attach to most backpacks.
Email danilo.rahn@birdiepal.com for advice on shipping, depending where you live. Neither is available in Australia so will have to be shipped from the US.

Has anyone any experience of either of these?
I'm using the expandable hands free euroschirm in 32 to 35°C so far while training and not on the camino. Have used it straight up and haven't tried angling it east or west yet. I think it helps a lot. My arms are still in the sun so am wearing some biking sleeves as someone suggested on this forum. I'm taking a waterproof top and a rain skirt since I don't think I will be protected from rain. My shoes are not waterproof since I've read that waterproof shoes once wet take a long time to dry and they can make your feet very hot. Using ankle high stockings and smartwool socks as a 2 part system. My backpack has its own rain cover and my thinks will be in waterproof stuff sacks.
Isn't the rain fantastic! Where are you at the moment? I'm heading to Almadén today.Using the handsfree Euroschirm at the moment on the VdlP. It was 35 to 38 deg last week and the umbrella was a godsend! Used it this morning to protect from the rain this time (the weather has changed drastically).
I was doubtful because of the extra weight but so far it's been fantastic.
I ordered it direct from Euroschirm but of course I live in Europe.

Thank you for the heads up. I got quite sunburned, for the first time, on this Camino, despite using sunscreen. Perhaps it's getting a little old and the active ingredients are no longer working? But I would have been disappointed to order this umbrella and to learn it does not help covering arms. Next Camino: UVproof longsleeves of some sort for sure!My arms are still in the sun so am wearing some biking sleeves as someone suggested on this forum.
The European Peace walk from Vienna to Trieste/ Venice in August/September. A new part of the world.Just thought about this... Should have asked which camino you were doing and when...
