It fits nicely in my backpack. They are not lightweight but that’s because it opens up to give you a fair amount of coverage from rain. The elastic band that you can wrap around your wrist to carry it once it's all wrapped up is a plus also.

Use your best judgement. Save your money. Buyer beware if you have any problems.

Nice in the beginning but definitely not build reliably. Don't recommend buying it, it's far too dangerous! I wish i hadn't bought it, as it's now going in the garbage.

The metal frame feels sturdy, but the flexible joints give way too easily. It is not sturdy enough for even the most mild of windy days.
