Do you use one? I personally have no need for one. Most guys who'd stand in a trout stream in 30 degree, raining weather wouldn't, but I observed a young man today wearing a hooded sweatshirt, hood up, poke his umbrella out of the car, open it and then walk 10 yards to the door.

Why? You have a hoodie on, and it's only 30 feet. I don't get it.

Acid rain

nope

I can't remember ever using one.

I have a good selection of "real" rainwear for really bad conditions......but usually I just let myself get wet or stay out of it.

^ exactly.

Other than women protecting their perms could the umbrella be on its' way out?

In the greater Seattle area, you can always spot the folks who weren't born in Seattle...they use umbrellas. Real Seattlites don't. No kidding. Of course if it's nice out, then you have to check to see if they have webbed feet.

Ahem...Florida...humidity...rain...Yeah, use one and not get soaked to the skivvies or walk around with flat hair and soaked underwear in your crack.

Depends on the kind of rain if I will use one. I like to walk around in the rain if its not thunder and lightning...a rariety in Fl. Most times a hat or even a golf jacket is enough.

One thing for certain, is I'm not one of those run for the car or building people. If I didn't prepare for the weather then the weather is going to hit me.

I have one in the car but I rarely use it. They are more a pain than they are worth. Especially when you are trying to get in your car and you can't get it to collapse.

I would have thought at least one person would mention that they use it to smoke under when it rains. Or how about the rainbow umbrella hat? Does anyone actually own one of these other than TW?

I swear I probably throw away a dozen umbrellas at the bar every year.
