[pct-l] Chrome dome

[Scott Williams]

The Chrome Dome is not actually made by Golite.  They just put their logo
on the ones they sell.  You can find the exact same thing on Amazon and a
number of other places by googling "mylar trekking umbrella."  Don't get
the larger colorful ones, just get the basic mylar top, black underneath
with a little bulb on the end of the handle.  I've bought several under
different names and they were the same thing as the Chrome Dome, sometimes
as cheaply as $19 each. Here's the exact same thing for $27 at Amazon:

Golite is only the logo and name as far as umbrellas goes.  Some other
manufacturer actually makes the items.
