Abstract
An umbrella holder is provided which permits the user to be protected by an umbrella while permitting the user's hands to remain free. The holder includes a waist belt and shoulder strap. Means for securing the umbrella handle to the waist belt and the umbrella shaft to the shoulder strap are provided. The belt and strap are adjustable and permit the umbrella shaft to be secured to the user's chest without impinging on a breast of the user and permitting the belt to be raised or lowered with respect to the user's waist thus enabling umbrellas having different shaft lengths to be accommodated as well as users having different waist to shoulder dimensions.
