Re: Nubrella: hands-free umbrella
#12Looking at the homepage it shows a broken umbrella, a problem I have all the time. What I want is a something that doesn't break so easily, a sturdier umbrella. I don't want something that makes me look like an astronaut.

#14Even if it works it suffers from serious Segway Syndrome. Anyone using one looks terrible.
The moment I saw one, I thought Segway.

#15Well, I guess the first people to use umbrellas probably looked pretty silly too.

#16I wonder if the "aerodynamic design" and "patent pending 'shoulder straps'" would be able to stand up to the wind on a motorcycle. If so, this could actually be pretty useful, especially if combined with a poncho and waterproof gloves. Almost like driving a Smart then...
On a motorcycle, you wear a really close-fitting umbrella called a "helmet". Problem solved.

Does that work for you? I always get my face shield so covered in rain I can barely see. Also, it is a cheap helmet, but the higher air humidity on rainy days means it fogs up from the inside far too easily.

What makes you think this will be any different? Trading one plastic shield for another doesn't seem to solve the problem.

#19Give up a hand, or walk around being eaten by a translucent Pac Man. I think I'll stick with the umbrella.
They can have two video game models. A yellow pacman version and a BioShock Big Daddy.
Seriously though, depending what you spend on your hair, and what the visual expectations are for you on the job, this could be a godsend.

Assuming you change clothes once you arrive at your job.
