Weather the Storm with Blunt Umbrellas

Blunt touts their products as, “quite simply, the world’s best umbrella,” and we think they might be right.

 

Blunt umbrellas are designed to be storm- and wind-resistant and won’t get torn apart on a gusty day. Their aerodynamic canopy uses a Radial Tensioning System and is able to withstand a good amount of pressure from rain, wind and snow that’ll keep it lasting for years rather than through one season.

 

The best part is they make umbrellas for every occasion. If you’re the type to leave your umbrella lying in a dressing room or at the library, don’t fret, because they’ve integrated technology into some of their designs that allow you to trace the location.

 

Others come with reflective material to help keep you safe and seen at night or in exceptionally dramatic weather systems. Some come with pockets to hold your stuff, and they’re each made with fiberglass shafts for a tighter grip in the wind.

 

Each umbrella is inversion resistant, but can turn inside out if it’s particularly windy out, like in a hurricane for instance.

 

The smallest umbrella they currently offer is a collapsible one 14 inches in length, so you won’t find one that fits in your purse quite yet. They’re committed to making umbrellas that work, so they won’t sacrifice performance for size.

 

They do cost more than your typical umbrella, but we think they’re worth the price. Check out their website to find the one that works best for you.
