Tactical Umbrella

[AnthonyG]

Where can I get one?
Preferable in the tri-fold variety.

[R.I.T.Z]

A what?

[Strelok]

Same place you get Tactical Kilts and Magpul accessories.

An umbrella? You know...


But in all seriousness. I'm curious if anyone makes a durable, heavy-duty, compact umbrella.

Every umbrella I've ever purchased quickly falls apart the first time it rains and is even the slightest bit windy.

You mean one of these?

It's called a gore-tex jacket.

[Danke]

Help me Jebus.

There are some good umbrellas depending on your price point.
A 10-50 dollar one will most likely break prety quickly and you'll most likely (in the 50 range) just be buying a 10 dollar umbrella with a fancy brand name printed on the handle.
The euroscrhim trek is prety high end. They have a collapseable and fixed shaft. Many options actually I selected the top end one for ya. Put you around 70 euros plus shipping. Damn good umbrella tho if yer into that sort of thing.

Beauty,

Can't exactly shove a gortex jacket into a molle pouch or water bottle holder.
Was more interested in something for EDC/caught in the rain.

This should do as a starting point.

Actually the goretex jackets pack up into their inside pocket. It's not super small but easily stuck into or clipped onto a back pack or bob.
How often you expecting rain that you wanna edc an umbrella?
Likely better off with some "disposeable" ponchos if it's for "just in case"
Tho I will say the more I look at the trek I may pic one up for the GF.

I carry an umbrella in my bag at all times, airsofting or otherwise. It fits in my side water bottle holder.

The one I have works, but is not sturdy enough to stand up to a mild wind.

What is that nonsense?
Is it a hipster-urban-gayboy forum?

Wear a goretex jacket and man the fuck up.

I used to get mine here

They actually do make some more *ahem* violence-oriented umbrellas, but don't have them on the website.

OPSEC

Poncho that folds up into a small-ish pouch, covers down below your knees, unsnaps to house a ruck sack, will protect your weapon as well and spreads out into a tent or tarp. Comes in multicam.

I've had one for years and it works great. I'm not too big on fighting in it, I'd rather have like s Crye wind liner or something for that. But for hunkering down, protecting your gear, pure ease of use, or hiking in the rain, it's great.
