[pct-l] GoLite umbrella

[Anne Estoppey]

As I was visiting (and day hiking) in AZ and UT in April, I thought a sombrero would be quite a good idea.
But the issue is maybe that it catches the wind easily...
 
Anybody used a sombrero instead of an umbrella?

Does anyone have advice for attaching an umbrella to a pack strap so you 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?
