The Hands-Free Umbrella from Nubrella straps onto your back like a backpack and becomes very comfortable to wear by adjusting the straps and the hook-and-loop waist belt. The Hands-Free Umbrella does not open like a conventional umbrella; it springs forward and opens like a hood. Therefore, the hood covers your head and enables you to do many tasks under rain or inclement weather, such as riding a bike, walking your dog, or photographing a sporting event, without holding an umbrella. And when the rain has stopped, simply retract the hood onto your back.
The 3 lb Hands-Free Umbrella is made of waterproof ripstop nylon, aluminum rods, and glass-filled polymer components that create a strong and durable umbrella. Because the umbrella is vented and aerodynamic, it can withstand winds up to 40 mph, and won't invert on itself. A backpack that can hold your smart devices or a small amount of camera equipment is available as an optional accessory. In addition, the backpack snaps into the back support and becomes part of the Hands-Free Umbrella.
