I bet somebody with a low cost production facility already making umbrellas could easily adopt this and do a pilot batch. You'd start by marketing in the Sky Magazine and the like, hopefully, it catches on to start mass production. Reward: I'd personally test one of these in the Atacama Desert in Chile next July (a week long 250km ultra run). |
