For your chance to win one of these fantastic umbrellas tell us in 25 words or less "What you want most in an umbrella on a windy day".It is a well-known irony that on the days you need to use your umbrella the most – the wettest and windiest – it is virtually guaranteed the umbrella will break, blow inside out or poke someone in the eye. This need not be the case, with the introduction of Blunt Umbrellas, a New Zealand company that has revolutionised umbrella design.
Blunt Umbrellas will withstand the strongest winds, with the Classic model tested to 117km/hour.
With its eye-catching canopy design and unique structure, the Blunt has redefined the market and created the world’s best umbrella. Designed by New Zealand engineer, Greig Brebner, Blunt Umbrellas feature patented blunt tips that form an integral part of its Radial Tensioning System. This system redirects and distributes the effort used in opening the umbrella throughout the entire canopy. As the Blunt is opened, its additional double struts redirect the effort into the floating ‘ribs’ which reach out like fingers stretching into a glove. They then transfer the opening force into the blunt tips on the end of each rib. These tips then open within their pockets, evenly distributing tension right to the edge of the umbrella.
The product range caters for all users, offering light and compact models, heavier duty options and ultimate performance models designed for the golf course.
Each umbrella is available in a range of vibrant colours, from bright pink, yellow and blue to striking black, navy and grey.
