ultra lite unbrella recommendations

I use a Golite Chrome Dome and it works great. It is a very tough umberella and provides good coverage. I hike with poles so i rig it hands free under my sternum strap and around my head via a bandanna.

Something like this, but with a bandana in place of the hat... I've got no pictures of my silly setup :0

That's a pretty good idea. I wish I had thought of it. I almost always have the umbrella shaft leaning against my head already, so that may be the perfect hands-free solution for me.

What about this?

it'd work if it was a bit bigger - mine's wide enough to provide cover to the shoulders and pack

none of this works in 30 mph winds... (Hurricane Kathy is picking up....)
