Umbrellas | Storm and Folding Models

Umbrellas that can take a beating

An umbrella usually gets bought at the moment you have to walk through a downpour. It often turns inside out at the first gust of wind: a rib snaps, and by the next shower you are buying another one. This collection holds umbrellas that are sturdy and last. They are designed around their construction and will stand up to a proper storm. They also look good doing it. From compact models that fit in a bag to sizes two people can walk under.

The storm umbrella that does not turn inside out

The most striking model is the storm umbrella by Senz, recognisable by its asymmetric shape. Where an ordinary umbrella is round and catches the wind from every side, this one has a short front and a long, low-sloping back. As a result it turns with the wind by itself, like a weather vane. The shape makes it aerodynamic and lets the wind slide along the canopy. It withstands wind speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour, while you only need one hand to hold it.

From pocket size to XXL

The Senz range runs from the Micro, which takes up almost no space folded, through the Mini and the Original to the Large and the XXL, which two people fit under. Among the folding models there is also an Automatic that opens at the push of a button. Colours vary by model, from understated black and grey to a single bright accent.

Folding, with a pattern

Alongside the storm umbrellas there is a folding design umbrella by Remember in a range of patterns. The bold designs are entirely in the brand's own distinctive style. They also bring colour and cheer to dark, rainy days.
