Hands up who’s struggled with an umbrella in the wind? Thrown a cheap brollie away only a day or two after buying it? Or compromised their dignity with an umbrella that suddenly blew inside out in a rogue gust?
Featuring the most radical technological leap since the introduction of the collapsible umbrella in the 1920s, Blunt Technology creates an umbrella of amazing stability and strength, while introducing a stylish, distinctive and more rounded silhouette.
The elimination of the traditional sharp points means Blunt Umbrellas are eye-catching in every sense but the literal, making them much safer in crowded areas. The strength and durability of a Blunt also means umbrellas no longer have to be a throwaway item – design innovations such as this are the green choice in a resource-limited world. On a more aesthetic tip, they also look pretty cool. People will look twice – and let’s be blunt: style matters.
However, there are plenty of designer umbrellas on the market. Aside from its phenomenal quality and strength, what sets a Blunt apart is the actual experience of using it. Other umbrellas may look the part, but the true beauty of a Blunt is in its physical encounter with the elements.
The tighter canopy sits effortlessly in the wind and provides maximum control of your umbrella in the most blustery of storms. They’re a breeze to open, and Blunt’s design means the canopy won’t tear at the tips or easily turn inside out. No matter how expensive or high-quality the materials of umbrellas in the past, they were built on a flawed technology, making them ultimately disposable. This historic design leap means consumers now have the option of something that is truly built to last.
Well-known professional golf caddy Steve Williams says, “During my 30 plus years of caddying all over the world I’ve experienced every possible weather condition and used many different umbrellas. You fight the wind to hold onto a normal umbrella. The difference with the Blunt is that you don’t have to fight with it – it’s effortless to control in the wind.”
One last added benefit of a Blunt: the smug feeling you get next to someone struggling with a crap umbrella – priceless!
Currently available in two varieties: Blunt (RRP $99), and Blunt XL (RRP $110), Blunt umbrellas are available from select stores and through its online shop.
