Well, more for sunshine than rain - I'd bought a trekking umbrella... by EuroSCHIRM (£25 eek ! )- it has a metallised coating rated as UV50... well I broke it in the 1st umbivvy trial didn't I... The name of the umbrella should have given me a clue to its durability though: Dainty... hmm...
Umbivvy? Don't ask... imagine combining a bivvy bag with an umbrella...
As my cheapo Factory Shop 'Grant Barnett' umbrella (£5) hasn't broken yet (though there was an issue with the handle) I bought another and am in the process of attaching (24 hand sewn points, phew...) the silvered canopy to the sturdier frame.
Sod's law dictates that it won't rain - then neither will the sun shine. Could be ideal then: cool and overcast.
