[pct-l] GoLite umbrella

[Jackie McDonnell]

I use an umbrella in the desert, and I like it a lot.  It really does keep
you cooler, which means you drink less water, which means your pack weight
is lower.

I tried attaching my umbrella to my pack, but I didn't like it.  The sun is
not always overhead, plus the desert is windy.  It helps to have your
umbrella in your hands.

don't have to hold it in your hand? Are umbrellas worth the weight (1/2 lb)
in the desert? Is there too much underbrush to make them worthwhile in the
northwest?
