ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for enclosing an umbrella is disclosed which is structured to provide easy and quick attachment of the cover to an item of apparel so that the umbrella may be carried by the user in a hands-free manner. The protective cover of the invention is lightweight and compact, and may be structured with waterproof components for protecting the umbrella from the elements. Additionally, the cover may be structured with a material component which draws moisture away from the umbrella when placed in the cover so that formation of mold is lessened. The cover includes an attachment member which is structured to slidingly attach to an item of apparel, such as a belt on a coat, a pocket welt, a purse strap, a button, a briefcase, a backpack, or the like. In one embodiment, the attachment member may be movable relative to the stabilizing collar to enable the cover to be reduced in size and dimension for easy storage while not in use.
