Lugging a sturdy and large-enough umbrella around with you during your travels can be a challenging and exhausting endeavor, but compact umbrellas aren’t always ideal for adequate coverage and quality. That’s where the Monstleo inverted umbrella steps in to solve this problem, and more.

 

The Monstleo double-layer reverse umbrella serves myriad functions. The fabric is, of course, waterproof, but also windproof and offers UV protection from harmful rays when it’s not raining.

 

The easy-to-grasp C-shaped handle can attach to any device, including your wrist, to allow your hands to be free, and the carrying bag shows just how small the umbrella can get and how compactly it can be stored. The innovative inside-out design allows the umbrella to fold outward and prevents water from dripping on to dry areas, making ducking into a car less of a wet hassle.

 

When closed, the 1.2-pound umbrella can stand up on its own, yet again freeing your hands for other tasks, and, when opened, the fabric spreads to a diameter of 42 inches.

 

The Monstleo inverted umbrella comes in more than 15 different color and pattern varieties and can be purchased on Amazon.com for $20.99.

No, it’s not Monterey Bay. We’re talking Morro Bay, California, located about a 2.5-hour drive to the south, about halfway between San Jose and Los Angeles. A quieter destination, Morro Bay offers plenty for the outdoor adventurer to enjoy.
