Wow. It's really pouring. We're gonna get drenched goin' in. Ah! Don't despair... Open the glove compartment and hand me the contents! I recently invested in an ultra compact lightweight emergency umbrella for just an occasion... Well, at least one side of my face and hands are pretty much dry... Can I crawl up on your right shoulder?...

I used to have one of those small umbrellas. In the big rains I had to face, it didn’t do a whole lot of good. My head might remain mostly dry, but my clothes would get soaked: winds blew rain sideways more often than not!

Everyone in the city in which I work seems to use a golf umbrella now— one person taking up 1-and-a-half sidewalks. I myself just wear a ballcap: keep the glasses dry. The particular corner I have to cross is so windy an umbrella is useless (and sometimes I have to carry my cap).

Brookstone sells a golf-size umbrella that double folds down to about 8 inches. No rain gets under that brolly!
