Daily reminder that the "lol umbrellafags" meme is perpetuated by sporting goods stores and smug americans buying into thinking that somehow umbrellas are for the incompetent and inexperienced.
>>1624240Umbrellas are pretty great; they keep the rain off of you and keep your sweat from raining back down on your skin (as opposed to conventional modern rain gear)
A decent umbrella will cost you basically nothing compared to a fancy coat and weigh pretty much nothing
Also it's just pretty handy to have a instant mini shelter wherever you go for cooking or whatever
I guess they'd be good for sun protection too
