Umbrellas That Won't Weigh You Down

With the weather on the east coast so unpredictable these days, there's not really any point to taking the time out of your busy morning to listen to Al or Sam. I now carry a mini umbrella with me even if there's only a sliver of a cloud in the sky. My favorite is the Travel Accessories Samsonite Pocket Trimline Umbrella. It weighs 6.2 oz, hardly more than the newspaper I carry with me to read on the train, and comes in 5 bright colors that are so cheery, they brighten up even the rainiest of days.
