NEW: Introducing Canope, the most complete and versatile wearable Hands-Free weather protection device/umbrella providing both Rain & Sun protection.

It will definitely get you some strange looks, but it works great. I love the option that I’m hands-free and that I’m getting shade at the same time. I can’t be out in the sun for very long, cause it makes me feel sick. This is a great option so I can stay out and about longer.

Pleasently surprised that it worked so well.

Thing is great not perfect but my use case is not the normal use case, if you use this while vertical it's fantastic if you try and use it while your torso is at like a 10-20° forward tilt you won't be able to see very far infront of you. Trying to use it while pushing carts, if I were shorter it would probably be fine as well. I may try to modify it but haven't decided yet. For normal rain and sun and most peoples use case it's amazing. Just wish they sold a clear one I'd just buy a second one. Also wish the blue were high vis yellow and that they thew some reflective stuff on the backpack part I think people who work outside would buy them up then.

I bought this to keep me dry in the rain on my walk home from work. I am blind, so I always need to have one hand free to hold my white cane. Having to use the other hand to hold an umbrella means I have no hands to open doors, etc. I walked home in the heavy rain the other day, and it kept me and my backpack dry. I wasn't sure if wearing my work backpack on top of this contraption would be comfortable, but it was totally fine. First I put on my coat, then the umbrella, then my backpack. Closing it up wwhen you're done with it is just a little tricky. You have to simultaneously push an indented button on the side while pulling up on the lever, and you have to do this on both sides of the device. But once you get the hang of it, it's no problem. This will definitely be my go-to on days where the forecast calls for heavy rain and I know a raincoat's just not going to cut it.

I bought this to keep the sun off of me while I walk. I usually walk around 12 miles a day— it can get hot in the Southern California sun. The umbrella piece bounced around a lot while I was walking. It was loud and felt like it would break. The bouncing meant that I was only fully covered from the sun some of the time. The wind would blow the cover off of me. While standing still, this thing was perfect. It gave me plenty of shade.This thing is great for watching your kids play sports or other spectator events. It is light weight and easy to use, but just don’t use it for anything requiring lots of movement.

This product very much fit the description of something you can wear and keep your hands free and have shade or block the rain. Purchased for when I am flying a drone that is off in the distance to keep the sun/glare off the controller. Friends thought it was great and said "Oh we should get those for when we are filming long days because we don't want to attach an umbrella to the tripod." The one suggestion that I would make for future versions, would be to be able to pull it back more or easier to reveal more of the sky, as I said to keep an eye on a drone. The sunshade doesn't quite pull back as far as I'd like, and the straps that hold it back don't get the front part out of the way enough at times, so I have to lean. But overall it is great.

I had a problem with the umbrella, it wouldn't close all the way. I wanted to contact the seller and their phone number does not work, they have not responded to dozens of emails, they have not responded to dozens of Facebook Messenger messages, nor any of the many posts I've left on their Facebook page. They included a tiny piece of paper with the product, which says to watch a video on their website about the product, but I cannot find the website and they do not give a link for that website on that piece of paper. They should also have supplied instructions with the product.

I bought it for Pokémon GoFest 2024 in NYC. It is light and easy to use, although you have to dismount the canopy to open and close the shade, it was comfortable to wear. The event was hit with downpour of rain and lightning for 40 minutes. The canopy kept me dry except edge of my T-shirt short sleeves. It is tested against battering rains and when weather cleared, the heat and unforgiving sunlight were kept in bay. I felt lot cooler and surprised how hot the canopy was when I touched the top, which protected me from the sun. The event in Randall Island was limited in shaded areas, and those available were filled with people. I was able to move without getting any heat exhaustion. Many of participants asked me about this product, and that is the reason I am writing this review. Great product for prolonged outdoor event, and just mind the distance between yourself and the others around you.
