Brett asked:
Is it possible to design a "weightless" umbrella for use as protection from
the sun while hiking in desert regions

One of or best chuckles on the barren WY red dessert was the sight of a
large tattered piece of mylar blowing through the sagebrush too fast to
catch. We knew such an item could only be escapee "hiker trash". We also
knew which hikers were ahead of us and wondered who was now hiking in the
sun.
