An umbrella on a hike makes very good sense, especially if you hike in the hotter months in some of the Cape mountains where there is little shade. It gives nice shade in our hot African sun (and can also be very useful when you get that rainy day). The compact foldable ones are more practical and lighter, provided you find a good quality one. Using these in windy, rainy conditions are not so good, as most of you will know…
