Here is a look at my new umbrella hat mainly for hiking and backpacking. Those of you who have followed me on YouTube for the last 6 years know I quite often take one with me on the Appalachian Trail. It is quite nice to have your hands free for use on your hiking poles and head dry.

Hey, thanks for the video review of your umbrella hat. Wondering if you have any further thoughts on it now in 2018. Did it hold up? Did you use it, or was it a hassle? ty

It was and still is the best asset to my rain gear system. My only wish is that I measured myself WITH my backpack on. You need to be sure it not only reaches over your shoulders but also over your pack far enough so you can look up 🙂 Other then that it was AWESOME on my hike and I greatly suggest it. For a cheap umbrella it is performing like an expensive one.

I was curious about that very point. Seems as though it’d only work with a daypack, not my full-on backpack. But it’s intriguing, and cheap. Think I’ll do it. Thanks, and also ty for getting back so quickly!
