I often carry a small travel umbrella in my day pack, mostly for intense sun, it doesn't rain much here. Mostly for my wife and kids, come to think of it I don't think I have ever used it myself. Its a no space item. The relief one of these can provide in rain (or sun) can not be understated. Good point Lono
