Umbrella thread.

Anonymous Sat 01 Feb 2014 13:41:06 No.264085 View View Reply Original Report

So.. I just bought myself a cheap folding umbrella off ebay. It cost £3.50 and apparently weighs 180g.

So am I the first person ever to discover this awesome cheap lightweight waterproof breathable rain cover? I can't be... How have I never thought of this before? How did I wander off into the wet-ass UK without this for my entire life up to now?

So, errrm, umbrella thread I suppose. Thoughts and opinions and "OP IS A FAGGOT FOR BUYING A GIRLS HANDBAG SHELTER".

Ponchos are cheaper and you don't have to walk everywhere holding the stupid thing in your hand.

I've succeeded in going my entire life without owning an umbrella and I hope I never fail in this.

Naysayers be dammed.

But seriously, I did try a poncho, and the cheap ass piece of shit literally fell to bits when I actually wanted to use it. It cost twice this umbrella.

And also seriously, I'm quite prepared for it to fail miserably.

But: OMFG THAT HIGH TECH ULTRALIGHT PACK MOUNT SYSTEM. That aura of 'yea fuck you weather, i'm polefaggin all the way to the north pole with this bitch strapped to my back.

All the porters in Nepal use umbrellas. Once the air reaches a certain humidity, no jacket can be waterproof or breathable.

Umbrellas are my favorite piece of gear. I got a mylar covered one because having it helped me not die in the desert, and hiking all day in the rain under an umbrella is a dream. It really sucks in high wind esp on a ridgeline, though, but I've been able to manage by collapsing it and draping it over my head. Having a moderately beefly windshirt helps too.

You're better off with a parka and a rainfly. At least when /out/.
