Gear Review

By Kayte Deioma

I have been testing out a few rain products from Magellans.com suppliers of all things travel-related. Their Short Stuff five-inch umbrella has become my everyday purse or backpack umbrella for the simple reason that it is so small I forget it’s there. It also fits easily into the pocket of my rain jacket. It opens to a 42 inch arc, which is wider than most compact umbrellas and gives decent coverage for walking. My feet still get wet, but the rest of me stays dry to well below the knees. The construction feels a little flimsy with so many joints and it probably wouldn’t put up a lot of resistance to wind, but for “just in case,” it’s the perfect size to keep handy.
