High tech SNEZ storm umbrella – wind tunnel tested to 80MPH!

by Marc in Miscellaneous gadgets

SENZ Umbrellas - Product assortment (Colored fabric)

They’ve existed in one form or another for 200-odd years, but the humble umbrella still has room for improvement. For one thing, they tend to blow inside-out rather too easily, which is one of the problems the SNEZ storm umbrella aims to solve.

The innovative aerodynamic design means these brollys can take winds up to gale force 10 – comfortably more than most people would want to experience!

Available in a range of sizes and colours, they’re available direct from the SNEZ webshop starting at €39.95.

Oh, and the wind tunnel? There’s a cool video on their site that proves the point.
