Unless you’re a flower, a worm, or the ever-evaporating ocean, you know how much rain sucks. Even worse is when you get caught mid-storm full stride on your way to an event you need to look decent for because you forgot to listen to the weatherdog. You know what might make things a little less horrible? A good umbrella. You know what you don’t have? A good umbrella. That changes right now with this A.Brolly Tube: World’s Lightest Umbrella.
Yes, grandma did give you that crap umbrella and, yes, she was very kind to do so, but even granny thinks it’s time to level up to the A.Brolly Tube. Not just your average flimsy umbrella, this one uses popular aerospace, civil engineering, military, and motorsports technology to keep you dry from the harsh winds and rains that come from both springtime weather and the throws of global warming. The carbon fiber ribs construction makes it 17.5 times stronger than steel, but at least five times lighter.
So, getting back to the wind, let’s unpack how other umbrellas operate when things get a little shifty. It’s no newsflash that an inside-out umbrella is almost par for the course when the wind picks up. That said, this umbrella also features a WindBrace durable structure, which allows the ribs to bend upward when the wind is too strong. This way you can get from your office to your car without having to trash your umbrella-turned-glorified art structure.
Need more fancy-schmancy bells and whistles? The AquaRepel nano-treated fabric repels water off in a flash, which could be essential when the rain decides to rear its ugly head unannounced.
Yeah, okay, but what if you like being absolutely drenched and cold but hate that sun? First of all, weird flex. Also, this umbrella protects you from UV UPF50+, so you never have to worry about harsh rays.
The best part? This lifesaver is totally portable and comes with a super compact tube carrying case, so you can go to the windy city, foggy Londontown, and everywhere in between while still being completely protected.
Still not sold? Ask the 245 backers who made it rain $15383.43 on Kickstarter to fund this handy dandy tool, they’ll let you in on the secret.
