Has anyone used the Golite Half Dome Umbrella? It seems similar to the Montbell UL trekking umbrella. Thanks!

just ordered one of these (couldnt resist $14 shipped) to give it a try. anyone else have any experience with the half dome?
I've used both the golite half dome and the montbell.
They are similar in size, weight, and function.
I prefer the montbell simply because I like the shape of the grip better. The golite grip is kinda just designed to make a neat package with the umbrella is folded, how it fits your hand seems to have not been a design criteria. The stays (or whatever you call the wires that hold the umbrella) tuck into the handle on the golite. Its not really designed to fit your hand, in my opinion.
Neither grip is real nice, but the MB is certainly better for me.
Did you have specific questions?
