    Clothing in September

    Hello ShellsG. I am excited to hear that there is a "trekking umbrella". Where did you get yours? I am not concerned so much about the rain...very concerned about the sun. I have issues with the sun and the added protection may be just what I am looking for. Many thanks for any info, Lynn
