[pct-l] Golite Umbrella Extension

[belcherjd at juno.com]

I run the handle of the Golite Umbrella through the shoulder strap's hydro pack water tube stretchy band and then hold the handle in place with a band of velcro. It works great and 
totally hands free.

I'm new to the use of an umbrella while hiking and have found it to be very beneficial.

My interest for the umbrella is for shade and any benefits for rainy periods is just candy. 

I thought, when I first started my planning/idea building, that the umbrella would be touching my head but have not had a problem with it touching my head. 

'til later,

I am trying to figure out a lightweight way to extend my mylar umbrella
(when it's in use) from the side pocket of my backpack (Granite Gear Crown
VC) to over my head so I can have my hands free. Has anyone successfully
rigged something up that works? Would love to hear your ideas.

Thanks in advance for your help!
