Cloud Umbrella by Joonsoo Kim
Created by Dutch designer Joonsoo Kim, the Cloud Umbrella is carried around in stick form, and then inflated into mini-cumulus clouds of protection when the rain starts to pour. The umbrella is pumped using its pump-handle.
I think there might be some problems with the concept.I would expect the rain to collect in the channels and roll underneath the umbrella—soaking the user in the process. Perhaps a mountain umbrella with cloud cover would prove more practical.

[...] The Cloud Umbrella is definitely an unique concept! I am not sure how well it would work or whether it would work at all. The clouds are inflated by the handle that also acts as a pump. [via] [...]
