Beaverton, OR (February 14, 2018) – After more than a year of research and development, Six Moon Designs introduces the new Silver Shadow collection of ultralight trail umbrellas for 2019. The Silver Shadow collection consists of three models: the Silver Shadow, the Silver Shadow Mini, and the Silver Shadow Carbon, each offering a unique combination of features in terms of space, weight, and budget. Each model has the same silver reflective coating with 50+ UPF rating providing the ultimate in protection from sun, rain, and snow while hiking and backpacking.

The Silver Shadow is the original workhorse of the group, featuring a 24” fiberglass shaft and plastic ribs, spreader and runner. Canopy: 37”. Weight: 8.9 oz. MSRP $25.

The Silver Shadow Carbon is based on the original Silver Shadow but features all carbon fiber components including the 24” shaft, ribs and spreader bars, making this the lightest full-size trekking umbrella on the market.

About Six Moon Designs
Six Moon Designs was born on the Pacific Crest Trail by Ron Moak, an avid thru-hiker who sought out much lighter weight gear than what was available at the time. In 2002, Moak introduced his first product the Europa Tent, a 33oz. single wall silnylon shelter and the backpacking community quickly embraced the lightweight backpacking ethic. Soon, other innovative Six Moon Designs products followed including the Gatewood Cape, a combination poncho/shelter system and the Starlite Pack, a pioneering frameless pack with large carrying capacity, all setting the bar for affordable, durable and lightweight backpacking gear. Today, Six Moon Designs continues to be on the cutting edge of ultralight innovation and strives to make quality ultralight tents, shelters, backpacks and other accessories designed to get more people outdoors. www.sixmoondesigns.com.
