I have some of those clips too, but I'm hoping that the Gossamer Gear clips might be a bit more snug.I used a lightweight umbrella this September and fixed it with some drinking tube clips on self-sticking velcro straps, so I could easily remove them from the pack straps if necessary. The clip can be turned into position depending on where the wind comes from, and I clipped the chest strap over it and attached an S karabiner to the strap on the umbrella to secure it. Worked a treat!

I've always done the same with the Euroschrim clips.For years I have been using the Euroschirm clip for my drink tube!

Which is exactly how the Euroschirm hands free umbrella (which I bought from you @t2andreoThe PERFECT umbrella mounting system will securely hold the umbrella vertical, at a height of my choosing.
I haven't yet bought a hands free umbrella but have been thinking about it. This looks worth trying while I sit on the fence. However, the shipping to Canada of the clips (value $5.99) would be $16.20. Still cheaper than an expensive umbrella, but I'd like to see some reviews first.
Me too!I just added the umbrella clips to a Gossamer Gear order and will be happy to report on how they work after some use.

Don't know if they're any different. I bought them because they were so cheap and sold by the same company from whom l bought the umbrella so knew they would fit. Not worth it to me to do anymore research!Yes, pkease let us know how the Gossamer Gear ones do. What is special about them? When I checked others they all looked the same to me....

Thanks so much for that suggestion!! That looks like a great solution!I love using a hands free umbrella, and I love my Euroschirm telescope hands free umbrella, but it's a bit heavy. I have used a lighter weight umbrella the last two years, but I haven't found a way of attaching it that works as well as the Euroschirm system.
After purchasing a Gossamer Gear pack this year I am now on their mailing list, and was coaxed to peruse their website again. I searched for "umbrella" and found that they have these clips, which look like they will work very well for regular umbrellas.
Handsfree Umbrella Clamp
One handsfree umbrella clamp and one bungee clamp make this set the perfect umbrella companion. Use the clip on almost any shoulder strap to go handsfree to hide from the sun or the rain.www.gossamergear.com
I bought them because they were so cheap
Where can i get them in Europe / Germany? I couldn‘t find them anyhwere but at Gossamer Gear in US. Shipping them to germany is .... nope! Have the phantastic HandsFree TeleScope with the clips and the half weight one without any clips, can only adjust them with velcro (really bad solution).
So long
