Also in hot weather, a light weight tarp can be improvised (use your hiking/trekking poles) to provide some midday shade relief in very hot and sunny weather when hiking in open or alpine terrain where there is no shade tree coverage.
My wife and I have become very interested in 'prairie walking' over the last couple of years. We travel down to prairie country and set up a big tent, then take our hiking poles, small packs, and the dog out for the day.
The biggest issue we have had is finding a shady resting place, so we bought this lightweight tarp pretty cheap from SG (no affiliation) over the winter to use for exactly the purpose you describe. I'll post a review after we get a chance to try it on the prairie.
This ramps up my spring fever a notch.
