I'm going to have to agree with CeeVee on the wind situation. I know a lot depends on location but up in the mountains the wind can hit at any time and the last thing I would want out is an umbrella...

Weight may be close but I use my rain gear as an extra layer when it's cooler out and when my pants get wet I can use the rain gear while everything else drys out. I'm not against by any means.

Couldn't bring myself to carrying an umbrella. Added weight and bulky item. Ill stick to a baseball cap for sun and rain gear for the weather.
