I ordered these and they are holding up better than the mini dropper bottles I ordered:

The two jackets are a wind shirt (yellow) and a insulating jacket (blue). The windshirt is a cheap Hind $16 from marshals (4 oz). The other jacket is a REI revelcloud synthetic jacket (13 oz).
I LOVE using the umbrella. I have walked through some pretty tight spots with it. Overhanging brush brushing up against it has not done any damage so far. The umbrella really keeps the sweat down while hiking. Hate the steam bath feeling of hiking in a rain jacket. I should also note that I hike with poles. I dislike hiking with the umbrella in one hand and a pole in the other.
Basically what I do is run the umbrella handle underneath my sternum strap and then tie a bandanna around my head and the upper part of the umbrella pole at the same time. Looks kinda goofy but works wonders. This method keeps the umbrella directly overhead and over pack and still allows me the use of both of my hands for the poles.
