Now, here’s where that old-fashioned golf umbrella paid off big-time compared to this new-fangled thing-a-ma-jig (which I would not be caught dead wearing - I’m from Oregon after all). The thing was so wide that it protected not only me and my cameras, but there was room for two cheerleaders to snuggle up under that umbrella for protection from the rain. And there I stood for a good half-hour with two lovely ladies who made me think I have the greatest job in the world.

:-D

See this one has some design flaws..

1. heavy rain will prevent you from seeing where you’re going - result you fall down the stairs and die.
2. strong winds will cause you to be tossed around like a bag of nachos at the Biggs - result oncoming traffic and you die.
3. extended use will result is a build - up of carbon dioxide - result you suffocate and die
4. you will look like a big dummy - result no more friends, you die of loneliness.

End result this is just plain hazardous to your health. Doesn’t look like it will keep your clothes dry either:)
