Abstract
A personal rain protection device that enhances traditional umbrella qualities through the use of an unobtrusive slicker that can be deployed to protect a wearer's entire backside from getting wet. The slicker is securely stowed in a holding pocket located within the umbrella canopy. Upon deployment of the slicker, the slicker solidly covers the backside of a wearer. Light weights contained within the fabric of the slicker help stabilize the slicker and prevent it from flailing. In this manner, a wearer may tread through driving rain with added protection and also sit comfortably on a wet bench, bleacher or chair where a deployed slicker will protect his or her backside from the moisture.
