    i like the ones you can wear on your head....
    http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/767/17...173767_470.jpg

    its essentially hands free, in terms of practicality, its better than a normal umbrella... yet its seen as weird/unusual...why? why is the pic above not made the others redundant? sure its only for one person, but a normal umbrella cant accommodate two people... merely 2/3 of each person...
    Your excitement is admirable because even the model is like "what the hell am I doing here, fml pls"

    I like the long non collapsible umbrella's because they look nice and classy but they are so impractical!

    I'm fine with any umbrella, as long as it doesn't form a mind of its own and try to fly away when it's really windy.

    I'm not sure one like that actually exists but if it does I would probably invest everything I own to have it, considering how much it rains here.

    questionable reputation aside, seems bit pricey for me. i assume itll simply help your situation rather than completely resolve it.

    Then again, ive never known britain to have tornados during rain often so meh...

    Omg you actually found one!! :love: I've never heard of this website though, and I'd like to see this umbrella in action. Like, I actually want them to test it out in the middle of a typical rainy day in England. Though, for 20 quid it doesn't seem that bad.

    personally im more of a fiver or tenner guy then again ive got a hoody so im not bothered much
    yh, though maybe there are some actual shops out there that sell stuff like this.
    e.g. google brands that make 'windproof umbrellas' then search for actual shops that you can go to and try them out.

    saw a gadget shop called mankind (which is more novelty than gadget), quirky shops like that may sell stuff like that i think
