I have this umbrella too. It's a little heavy, but worth every ounce!Silver umbrella. It reflects the sunlight. According to the maker, Euroschrim, it offers a cooler temp under the umbrella. I love mine.

Have a dry and/or cool Buen camino!
I'm also a Camino umbrella addict, after pooh-poohing it for a few years, and the actually TRYING it.
I was convinced!
I usually just pick up an umbrella in Spain when I arrive. Around 8 euros.
Seems like when I think back about it, black provided a better shade. I don't recall it attracting heat. On the other hand, red colored everything around me, green was a good color.
I've never tried white or silver.
I will choose one of those next time.
I love my Euroschirm silver hands free umbrella. This present was my most important survival kit during this year heat.
I don't know where you live, but it's possible that you can purchase on on Amazon and get quick shipping. Euroschirm makes two models of the handsfree umbrella. The one sold on the Camino forum store is a non telescoping umbrella, and its length when closed is 76cm/30". The telescoping hands free umbrella is 40cm/19" when closed.Okay I would like to try that: hands-free sounds nice. Have no idea how you are suppose to attach it but ok. Can I walk into any sports store to find them, or are they some special stuff I have to order from like the other side of the planet? :Oo
Jo, I experienced a storm in my first couple of days. Driving rain and wind. Sun umbrella was no use. It was poncho timeTwo questions.
Can I use the external trekking pole straps to carry while not in use?
If I get one of these great umbrellas, do I need to pack a rain poncho for heavy down pours?
I still carried and used my poncho because umbrellas don't handle sideways rain very well.Two questions.

Thanks, I have to be careful of the weight factor.Driving rain and wind. Sun umbrella was no use. It was poncho time
One thing for sure, if you get lost taking a short cut, you will be easy to spot from the air! As for making. Black one silver... what about covering the canopy in duct tape?Silver makes me think I will look like a flying saucer :O) But if it works, I don't care what it looks like.
I don't think I will have time to get one of them modern ones before leaving. Perhaps I will keep to a "normal" one. Black it is then! :OD
I think that some spray paint would weigh less.One thing for sure, if you get lost taking a short cut, you will be easy to spot from the air! As for making. Black one silver... what about covering the canopy in duct tape?
Tremclad, so it shines!I think that some spray paint would weigh less.
That is not the place to save weight.Thanks, I have to be careful of the weight factor.
I am using this umbrella right now on the Via Sanabres. Excellent product!Have you seen this with silver UV protection sold from Casa Ivar by Ivar Rekve the administrator o f this forum.

Really?Too heavy.
and sticky - think of all the dust clinging to the gummy edges uck!Really?
Hi everyeone,
Really silly question coming up, but this is not a joke...
I am going to start my next Camino within a week from now. It's actually the Ruta de la Lana and not the VdlPlata, but I post this here anyway since I think more people will see it here...
I will NEVER leave without an umbrella on a Camino! To protect from rain and, above all, from heat. Yes, I like to stroll around in Southern Spain with my umbrella, there it is.
Simple question: what color is best on an umbrella if it's used as a protection from the heat? Black... attracts the heat? My last one was black but I soon came to suspect that in + 42 C it actually made things worse. Should I take a lighter color? But if it's a color, will it give enough shade??
If there is any other umbrella nerd like me out there...
Thanks...

It was a joke!and sticky - think of all the dust clinging to the gummy edges uck!
Me tooIt was a joke!
The Euroschrim silver umbrellas are opaque, silver on the outside, black underneath, and no, not readily available anywhere, they are a high end, quality, specialty item. This is one item well worth everyone of its grams.Are the silvered umbrellas opaque?
The ideal would be silver or white on the outside and black on the inside, so as to minimize glare...
Another question: are the Euroschirm models readily available in Pamplona?
