[at-l] Umbrellas?

[jbryankramer at msn.com (J Bryan Kramer)]

That ultralite hiking guy uses one, he glues a space blanket (trimmed to
size) to the top surface to make it reflective. He had specifications for
what he considers a good umbrella in his book but I don't recall what they
were or his name for that matter.

  I'm thinking about getting an umbrella for hiking.

  It seems the problem of long wet days where you are just as wet inside
your rain gear as outside would be addressed by this, at least when there is
not much wind.

  Anyone use one?

  What kind? (I know Golite makes one).

  Does it work?

  Is it strong /sturdy?

  Light weight?

  How do you fasten it to your pack?

  What comments do you get?

  Thanks
