Abstract: There is disclosed a body supported canopy comprising a rigid framework supported from the hips and shoulders of a user. The framework comprises a pair of upstanding members to which are independently affixed a pair of generally U-shaped members comprising an articulated frame for a bodily flexible non-transparent cover. The forwardly directed U-shaped member is braced by a pair of toggle links in a forwardly directed position generally perpendicular to the upstanding members. Breaking of the toggle links allows pivotal movement of the forwardly directed cover between the operative position and a storage position generally parallel to the body carried framework. The rearwardly directed U-shaped member is free to move between a storage position generally parallel to the body carried framework and a transverse position. A tether constrains movement of the second U-shaped member to a position generally perpendicular to the body carried framework.
